@davidfor:

Nobody said that. Ever.

As usual, you interject comments that are out of context and have nothing to do with anything.

Since you jumped to the last post in the thread without reading the beginning, I will explain it to you now.


My post to ZoteroCalbrNote:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...(v=ws.10).aspx

Your very first post shows that you are using Windws 8 PE. See the above article.


Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 2.0 is a minimal Win32 operating system with limited services, built on the Windows Vista kernel. It is used to prepare a computer for Windows installation, to copy disk images from a network file server, and to initiate Windows Setup.

Windows PE is not designed to be the primary operating system on a computer, but is instead used as a standalone preinstallation environment and as an integral component of other setup and recovery technologies, such as Setup for Windows Vista, Windows Deployment Services (Windows DS), the Systems Management Server (SMS) Operating System (OS) Deployment Feature Pack, and the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE).

If ZoteroCalbrNote were running PE itself, that would kill ZMI.

Then, PeterT said:

Dalton; I'd suggest you look at the logs other people have posted over the years. The presence of WindowsPE in the log does NOT mean the user is running WindowsPE.

Preinstalled.

Whatever. You obviously know everything so what the heck.

Research indicated that seeing WindowsPE means that the OS came preinstalled on the pc from the maker. Google knows everything.

And to ZoteroCalibrNote I said:

@zoterocalibrnote:

Apparently win8 has UAC like win7. The comments in the OP about UAC apply to you too.


Here's how to turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off in Windows 8:

Press Windows Key+X on your keyboard to display the Tools Menu and select Control Panel. ...
Type UAC in the search field in the upper right corner of the window.
Click Change User Account Control settings in the search results.

To which you, davidfor, as usual, made longwinded, preachy, and irrelevant comments.

Then, PeterT said:

I'd like to add that on my PC which is hand built, and the o/s installed by me from Microsoft supplied media, the calibre log also shows WindowsPE.

To which I now reply: "That is because you installed it from Microsoft supplied media, just like a PC maker (including those who make it themselves) does".

So, neither of you two said anything of value whatsoever in solving ZoteroCalbrNote's issue.

Quit wasting my time. Neither of you use Zotero and ZMI.
