keege, not for nothing, but.............that is not a solution............it defeats the whole pourpose of security.
The real question is how to check and change the security for the drives and folders if you are in a workgroup. This questin actually would have a lot of aplications. For a normal home user might seem overkill to have that much control, but, imagine in a small company with a workgroup config. Beyond that, I think most of us should use the PC with a limited account, and use the run as command to run aplications that require power user rights with another account. If it is a must, use an account with admin rights. I enforced this system at work, and it works pretty well. There is no administrator account for the Domain anymore and each has a admin account to do admin stuff, but they work logged in their computers as domain users.
My brother is testing this same method at his house, and, yes we found a lot of problems and it is kind of inconvenient, but.......he hasn't have a single spyware for months, and for first time in years he hasn't had to format his computer for 3 full months already (it is a record)
If most poeple run IE with limited rights, it would reduce their soyware considerably (firefox is better, I know).
So, my logic is ...no use the admin account.
