I don't know another way to get people out of the administrator mode trap. If you're so lazy and careless you can turn off UAC or run with it as Administrator, in which case you just have to press a button instead of entering credentials.

Lary, Richard, I totally agree. I hate that message too but I am so tired or "users" having admin at start up. They start loading MSN/AIM and and such at work so they can chat with the kids or husband. -- RandallM ---------- It's been a wild ride for sure _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
