The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Not sure I'd call it foolish...logical perhaps....
But we are dealing with MS....logical need not apply....perhaps that
is foolish of us :)
Anyway...yes, with the new versions of Windows, being admin isn't
enough. You have to use "Run as Administrator" to actually do many
admin things.
from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
"When logging into Vista as a standard user, a logon session is
created and a token containing only the most basic privileges is
assigned. In this way, the new logon session is incapable of making
changes that would affect the entire system. When logging in as a user
in the Administrators group, two separate tokens are assigned. The
first token contains all privileges typically awarded to an
administrator, and the second is a restricted token similar to what a
standard user would receive. User applications, including the Windows
Shell, are then started with the restricted token, resulting in a
reduced privilege environment even under an Administrator account."

I am the administrator on my machine so (foolishly apparently) I assumed that "Run As Administrator" was not needed.
