Recently I had a problem with my work laptop running Vista. I have a Dell with a Synaptics Pointing Device for a touchpad. For a while, I could not scroll using the touchpad gestures when working within Visual Studio. That really sucked. Scrolling is a must-have when coding.
I had googled it before, but to no avail. I tried again today and found a winner post.
Turns out, disabling UAC (which is annoying enough that I really don’t miss it) fixes the problem.
Thanks Acer Guy!

Ok… Another TFS gripe. I like to whine…
So, why is there no obvious “I would like to take my solution offline right now” function within Visual Studio? I am using 2008 and you would think that would be a feature by now.
It was not obvious, so I went web searching and found this: http://blogs.conchango.com/olusolanoah/archive/2008/10/31/13006.aspx
Looks like you either need to do it command-line with the Tweak util or via the registry. THE REGISTRY!?!?!?!? Come on! This is the 21st century, right?
