Ya, so with Windows XP pro, try setting anyone up with anything but "Computer Administrator" and watch what all won't work. I have contacted at least 3 different vendors on this and they all say "it has to be run by that account". Heck, even Microsoft says that... I couldn't believe it at first... Am I missing something ?

I have problems running my W2K PC as anything but administrator. But that is because of bugs in the application software that I dont have time to deal with. If your enterprise is serious about security, you have to prevent people from logging in as administrator. my working assumption is that a modern windows PC cannot be infected, hijacked or otherwise hacked if the user is running as a simple user account. -Steve
