Vista also pioneered User Account Control, a new feature designed to help prevent [[computer virus]]es and other [[malware]]. When a program tries to perform functions that require [[system administrator]] privileges, the operating system shows the user a confirmation box. If the user himself does not have system administrator privileges, he is required to enter an administrator password; otherwise, he must click an "OK" box. This feature has been criticized for irritating users legitimately trying to perform these operations.

"Live Thumbnails are available only when Aero is enabled." <ref>http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/122040-cant-check-show-windows-previews-thumbnails.html</ref>
