Sometimes I use Linux and there is one function that I really

When installing software which requires admin rights, it will
pop up a
password box asking for the admin password while in a user

there a way to get windows to do the same thing. I am using
a limited
user account, but having to log off and log back on is a bit
of a pain
to just install some software. It would be nice if all I had
to do was
just enter a admin password or some type of password to be
able to
install the software.

Right click the installation file and select "Run as" from the
menu. You should be able to enter the credentials of an
adminstrative account.

Good luck
