That. All day-to-day operations are done as unprivileged users. As IT Manager, my user account is actually probably one of the least privileged in the company, since I don't need access to a lot of manufacturing operations stuff that most other people do. We find ways to run software without admin rights, or we don't run it. Typically just file and registry permissions, as noted. It reduces the support burden of IT dramatically. I work for a 120 person company, and we only recently hired our second full-time IT admin staffer. At this point, I honestly can't understand how people operate any other way. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
