Vista users....

[AVGWarhawk]

I was running everything under the administration account. I read on the Vista Forums that doing so is like running the computer as if it had XP as the OS. One women reported that she created 2 user accounts and she used the admin account. Her account under admin ran much slower than the user accounts. Of course the Vista Forum (MS folks) said she should create herself a user account to solve the slower admin account problem which really was for maintenance anyway. She responded she did and all was well after she created the user account. Running the user account, I see in the lower right hand corner that internet protection is on. Meaning it will start questioning the user before allowing to download files. It really is just another layer of protection from rogue files I guess. Running as admin account, the protection is noted as off.

As a side note, I do not see any difference in speed when using the admin account or using the user account. Since each account is set up individually by the user, perhaps her admin account was firing up programs and running in the background thus slowing the computer. Who knows. Anyway, I set up a separate user account on mine. The only thing I find is SH4 will run under admin only. No biggy really. COD waw runs in the user account fine.
