One of the "features" of Windows, is that many of what should be user level apps have to be run as root. With some apps, you can configure them to run as admin, even when the user doesn't have admin privileges. However the appropriate password has to be entered.
That's the problem, as soon as they get the password they add themselves to the administrators group and before you can say 'malware' they've got 15 search bars in IE and they're complaining that their computer is running slowly. I dare say you might be able to input the password once and have windows remember it for you but how long would it be before it forgot it again? Anyway, this is a bit off topic so guess I should shut up now. Cheers, James. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
