I get your point about Privacy but to be honest, that's how ALL programs behave. I don't use Vista too often so you'd have to tell me if this has changed, but when you install Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, WordPerfect, MS Office, Photoshop or many other programs I can think of, shortcuts are made in the "All Users" section, so the other users notice that a new program is installed. It doesn't set the program as the default or copy over any settings, it;s just a shortcut, which would prompt the user to enter their own settings on first launch. everything does this, so I never viewed it as a privacy issue. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
