two user accounts for one user

I am thinking Windows should have two different privilege user account for
one user. One account will be a limited privilege account and is used to
browser the web and get Emails. the other account should have
administrator privileges. Two account only needs one time logging in.
In order to access two accounts simultaneously( no logging off, or switch
involved), there should have two desktops for each account on one
monitor. a user can freely switch between his/her two desktops.

In order to display two desktops at the same time. the second desktops can
be created by uisng remote desktop technology locally. that means the remote
desktop server and client programs are installed in one machine and these two
linked locally.

because a user has two desktops ,the limited desktops can add any security
features and make it much safe and not password input required when doing the
surf.

any comments are welcome.

Make sure your account has Administrator privilege on it. Add a new account
with limited privilege on it.

When you want to add a program login with the Admin account. Do your thing,
then logoff. Takes a few seconds. Login with the limited account. Work
away until you are done.

How many times do you need to go back and forth? Probably not that many
times.

This is the way Windows works now with UAC on, except there are not
multiple desktops - different privileged programs run on the same
desktop.

There are not different user accounts for real, but that is the way it
works conceptually.

In fact, there are three "user accounts":

1) Full-privileged (i.e., whatever privileges you are assigned, so if
you are an administrator, this represents administrative privileges)

2) Standard (limited) user privileges

3) "Protected mode" privileges - used by Internet Explorer, and any
other program that wants to use it. This mode only allows programs to
write to a handful of locations related to cookies and temporary
internet files.
