Re: User Access Rights problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

MS didn't push for that, they recommend no one run in admin mode. The
problem is lazy software writers that don't want to bother incoporating the
code necessary to assign proper permissions during setup. Just want to do
like they did for Win9x.....

No-one in the Unix/Linux world in their right mind runs as root on a daily
basis, which in effect is what running as admin is........

Funny short story: A few years back I was part of a board interviewing
vendors for a new system for my company. One of our dev guys came in and
removed his jacket before sitting, and I laughed when I saw him. No one
understood why besides he and I (and we had never met). He was wearing a
T-shirt that simply said "I am root".

Not an answer yet, but WHY oh WHY do software houses write apps for
Windows that require ADMIN RIGHTS to run? When will they get out of this
MS-induced idiocy that it's OK to run a machine on a daily basis as Admin?
