I'm fairly sure this is not true, Windows' Administrator and unix's root let you do anything on the system in both caes, in a Windows environment, there is no legitimate reason for users to have administrator privleges, just lots of really bad reasons based on poor programming practices. One should *never* use Windows software that requires Adminstrator privleges for non-maintenance-related tasks for all the same reasons you shouldn't use root in unix for non-maintence tasks. - -- Paul Johnson baloo@xxxxxxxxx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFH5Xt0UCxPKZafKh0RAqUGAKDueuxyi9SPKhP6XLoo14hyJ33LxwCg5RK2 WH1lGDtlu1CQ9Bx4+aIVtQ4= =ip5z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
