Sometimes I use Linux and there is one function that I really like.
When installing software which requires admin rights, it will pop up a
password box asking for the admin password while in a user account. Is
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.
