I continue to wonder why the default installation has users running in admin mode? If that one simple thing were changed, the success of viruses would be severely crippled. It's not only Microsoft, because any of the system makers could configure their systems with a user account. Why don't they?
I am running it as Admin. So all I need to do is create a new non-admin account and just use that as my everyday operational sign-on? And leave the Admin account alone unless admin type actions are needed.
All my other machines have been in service for awhile and favorites and such are aligned with the admin accounts Ive been using. Is it possible to change an existing admin account to a regular account, or will I have to create a new non-admin account and re-bookmark all my favorites?
