Limited User- Windows XP..Useless

[Guest]

So essentually XP Home is BOGUS because limited users do not have the opporunity themselves to upload/download a new program they have bought, onto their "Limited User" side. Their are no Patches, not even Doug Knox has one. So what is the use of having Windows XP Home?

In a limited User Account to install programs Right click on the program
icon and select "Run As" and select a Administrators Account (and password)

That is the purpose of having limited users, to limit the
number of people installing and deleting file.
I think you can use some registry tweakers, to create some
power user accounts even in Home (XP Pro has that built-in).

[Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers]

The limited user is the same in Home and Pro, it is designed as a user group
that has limited function. This is to prevent users of that group from
installing things willy-nilly and screwing up the system. To install
something in a limited account, right-click it and use "run as" and enter
the administrator name and password. Some programs, particularly older Win9x
software, do not function properly in a limited user environment. This is
not the fault of Windows but rather the program vendor that did not or has
not written the program for a true user environment.

You fail to under stand the point of limited userd, which
is that they can't install rubbish willy-nilly on a
system.

If you find you've been made a limited user, you might
ask yourself why...

An advert pops up on your screen offering to keep your
system clock time correct. You've never had a problem
with your clock so do you:
a) click yes anyway
b) don't click; you don't need it
c) know that this would install nasty spyware to report
your browsing habits and various private information back
to some underhand company. But yuou didn't see it anyway
because you use a good ad and popup blocker.

Someone you've never heard of emails you swimsuit.scr. Do
you:
a) open it straight a way with a cry of "yay, swimsuits!"
b) delete it - you don't know where it's come from or
what it is
c) delete it knowing that it is a program file that is
about 150% likely to be a virus or trojan, or at least
you would had your up-to-date virus scanner not been
doing its job.

Some website offers you a really handy toolbar for
Internet Explorer. Do you:
a) Downlaod and install it with a cry of "yay, pointless
tollbars!"
b) dismiss it as it doesn't really do anything useful
anyway
c) know that this may hijack your browser, redirecting
you to bad advertising portals everytime you try to
search for anything

You want to download music. Do you
a) install KaZaA
b) buy it from a legitimate site
c) know that P2P software when badly configured can let
anyone download anything from your hard drive, and is
subject to hacking even when you've set it up right. If
you really want to use it, you meticulously configure
your firewall.

A box pops up whilst you are browsing porn asking to
install software. Do you:
a) click yes, crying "yay, I just love installing
software, even though I haven't got a clue what it is"
b) close the prompt, as you don't know why you need
a 'dialer'
c) know that this software is probably going to
reconfigure your dial up connection to dial a premium
rate number in Russia each time you use the Internet.

You've trashed your computer through your own stupidity.
Do you:
a) complain that Windows is rubbish
a) maintain that you have done nothing
a) nag a friend who works with computers to fix it in his
time off even though he has better things to do
a) moan that you've been made a limited user once it has
been fixed

If you abswered a to any of these questions, that's why
you are a limited user
