Administrator Rights

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


I'd like to know how others deal with programs that require Administrator
rights or they refuse to run. I'm currently running Windows 2000 Pro, but
I'll be moving to XP and the issue is the same with either OS.

I don't want my domain users to have Administrator rights because they
install things like webshots and ITunes and other junk that could lead to
spyware.

How do others balance this?

Thanks!
