If you are using the Home Edition you have no other choice except to run it with Administrator rights.
Is there no way to add another user? I try to convince my friends to create a user account, separate from the admin. It sounds like another security bomb is about to go off.
I quote from a book I have on the XP:
QUOTE
Windows XP Home edition bestows Administrator rights on anyone who logs into the computer, giving full control to all system resources - this is not a satisfactory security model for business and power users.
UNQUOTE.
Answer your question? :-)
The book and practice seems to be out of phase :-)
It is simple to create new user(s).
Nowhere have I said anything about not being able to create new users. All the above quote is stating is, "....bestows Administrative rights on *anyone* [my emphasis] who logs into the computer,....".
They are by default administrators (well, elevated rights), so that has to be fixed manually.
What you write is, of course, all very exciting - except that for the Joe-in-the-street who buys a copy of the Home edition (AND Professional, BTW) will not have a damn clue that you need to use the OS as a user with NO Administrator privileges. Which is why openSUSE was created.
