    RE: Account

    Hi Toopay,

    Even if you are running as an administrator, it does not mean that you are
    running with administrative privileges. Unless required, you are normally
    running as a standard user. When you do something that requires
    administrative privileges, the system asks you to provide them. This is the
    User Account Control (UAC) in action. If you are running as an administrator,
    you merely have to confirm that you want to grant that process/application
    administrative rights. If you are running as a standard user, you will need
    to provide the account details of a user with administrative privileges.
