Title: Microsoft Annoyances
Post by: Mince on June 07, 2015, 09:46:17 AM

I have a Word document with a macro written by me that automates some tasks in the document. Word refuses to allow the macro to work. I turned on Safe Locations, Enable Macros, Trust VBA. Nothing worked. In the end I had to edit the registry to stop Word doing things I did not ask it to do.

I want Microsoft to add some extra check boxes to Microsoft Windows:

? Leave my files alone and stop scanning them and slowing my computer.

? Remember that this computer and my files belong to ME, and I have permission to do EVERYTHING.

? No, I don't want to install an arsing antivirus. I am not a moron.

? No, I do not want you to hijack my computer to install updates when I want to close it down and go to bed or when I turn it on and want to get to work.

? Do not do anything without MY permission.

? Basically disable EVERY sodding stupid protection feature.
