No really following you?

Are you the sole user on the computer? Can you install programs or change settings of the OS that have a shield symbol in the icon? Or does Windows User Account Control ask you for a password of a different user account?

If you are the only person that logs in on the computer then you probably have administrative rights on the computer. The first user account created when Windows is installed allways is. In that case my earlier question is moot.

On my pc, the first user account created when installing Windows I called admin and is obviously an administrative account for technical/maintenance tasks. With that I created a normal user account for my daily use that cannot do scary things on my computer that has those shield symbols on icons. Some may think it does not prevent malware from doing bad stuff on my pc, but I maintain it as a first line of defense for that, or myself doing silly stuff late in the night that I will regret later. It just has the drawback that I need to enter a password of the admin account when I need to do maintenance tasks on the pc.

If that does not ring a bell then forget what I asked.
