That's how I'm running as well... online or off. Switching to Vista
in May didn't suddenly change the online environment that I've been
surfing so successfully the past umpteen years (since before Mosaic).

Yea, but I ran with limited user permissions when online before Vista too though. I still run 2 copies of XP and both use limited user accounts when online. That is how the OS is meant to be run and is how all Linux OS are setup too. Well, Ubuntu uses a setup similar to Vista but that is besides the point. The reason we ended up with UAC in the first place is because people like you refused to setup the OS properly and use a limited user account for doing every day tasks. I hold you personally responsible for the blight of UAC. ;) Now I can't elevate to admin access in limited user account unless I turn on UAC. In that respect Vista is worse for me than XP because in XP I just need to supply the admin password to get elevated to admin level. I can't do that on Vista without UAC also being on.
