As for the OP; Dude WTF... First rule of being root / admin, is that users are idiots who shouldn't be allowed to do a DAMN THING that isn't required for whatever job they have!

This used to be a Nightmare to enforce back before Windows 7 became an option, and I.... I actually kinda like Windows 7.... Which is weird for me, because I don't like Windows in general.

But Windows 7, they finally stole the right UI to make it look nice, and they even have a "run as" thing that doesn't take learning DOS BS no one ever uses anymore, and even I was shocked to see that when the original version of Unreal Tournament wouldn't work on Windows 7, I simply clicked on a button that it said would check to see if there was a way to run it in another manner, and it worked!

A few clicks, and it said running Unreal Tournament in a Windows 9X manner would let it work, so I tried it, and to my complete and utter astonishment, it worked!

I still think Unix had the right idea about "su" and "sudo" a long time ago, because you can truly get down to it and limit everything you want, which still isn't the same in Windows, but they are finally catching up to the OS they say is "old, archaic, and outdated".... lol.

I like how Microsoft refers to Unix as something that's out dated technology, and totally archaic, and yet, it has features they are just now catching up to.
