Sean,

Things sure are different than when I used Windows 3.1 and the
Commodore 64 before.

At least in Vista (and W7?) I can use the computer as a Standard User
and when I want to do something that "IT" considers only a ELEVATED User
can do at least I get a pop up where I can type the Admin Password and
go on and do what "I" want to do.

After all "I" AM the only user of the box.   ;-)

That's an improvement over what I have to do being a Limited User on
this XP box when "IT" tells me I can't do something and I have to use
RUNAS to do what I want to do.
