Yeah worked well with XP; people are people. If you told someone they  
should run as a LUser, but some of their programmes might not work/install  
and anytime they wanted to change some stuff they'd have to retype their  
admin password OR you could just run as an administrator (which appears to  
be the default option again) everything runs/installs fine and you just  
need to click on a button to confirm you want to run somthing; then what  
will people do?

The latest wonder is that Media Player won't start unless "run as"  
Administrator, doing a search reveals others with this problem and the  
curernt solution is to unistall any 'suspect' media players. So bye-bye to  
the only programme that'll play transport stream files and/or 4-on-demand.
