What I'm saying is that while the default account isn't *the* admin account, like you, I'm not seeing any difference between the 2 accounts, in contrast to my previous belief and earlier statements. UAC seems to be doing the job it was designed to do, very well, in fact, but I would still prefer that the default install was the limited user *and* admin accounts; the proper way of securing a computer. The user would then use the standard user account. UAC is too easily dismissed by lax users who self-default to an "allow" mode and having to enter a password would deter quick "whatever" clicks. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
