Building myself a Windows XP DAW PC

A path to a file may not be longer than 256 characters. So if you have C:\long_map_name\another_very_long_map_name\and_so _on\long_file_name and the total of characters exceeds 256 than you have to shorten mapnames.

And the thing with files and administrators right is a pain in th *ss....

I totally agree, Microsoft should never have implemented the User Accounts Control, and they should have set things up so that if you're logged on as the Administrator, all folders and files should automatically give the Administrator full access, it shouldn't be that access is still denied even if you're logged on as the Administrator and you change all file permissions so that you should technically have full access to them.

I use four programs that I installed with Admin rights and even though they have that little orange and blue shield on the desktopicon and when I start them I always get that annoying popup that asks me if it is ok that the program can run.

Of course it is! You fool!!
