This is getting on my nerves. How do I turn off password aging so I don't have to keep changing my password?

If it moves, compile it

Try:

Control panel
Administrative Tools
Local Security Policy
Check the Security Settings, Account Policies, Password Policy settings.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I don't have an option to edit. There is a numeric up/down but it's disabled.

Probably means you don't have administrative privilege. I am making a few guesses here as this is based on Windows 7 Pro.

Haven't got Windows 8 installed, but since about NT you have the option in each user properties -

Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and Groups -> Users -> Right Click Desired User -> Properties and select Password never expires

I think that should do it for you.

Did you watch the Junior Dos Santos and Cain Valasquez UFC fight?

It looked to me to be a setup to enable a 3rd fight. JDS did not try in any decent way to stopo a take down. Didn't try any take downs of his own so he could usae his newly acquired Ju Jitsu balck belt techniques.

At the very least he could have tried to knee Valesquez in the face each time he dived at JDS feet.

I want my beer money back, it was possibly the worst fight in UFC 155 including all the preliminaries.

Odd but I don't see my user in that list. All the users that are in that list, the passwords are set to never expire.

I didn't watch the fight yet. I cannot stand commercial television, so I wait until they come out on dvd and then rent them. This works for me, but generally means I'm a few behind. I think there are two at the video store now that I need to watch still.

I watch it on Pay Per View at the local pub while drinking a squillion.

Strange, I'll have to download and install Windows 8 to play with and see what the differences are.
