but wait, if you can run as an Administrator, can't you just check the
checkbox which says "always run as an Administrator"?

You know people liek you are having problems I haven't even imagined. I
never deal with admin or security issues, I just turned off everythign
possible. I am the Administrator always, why are peopel wasting time
clicking "as administraror" for so many applications? Just do it once &
forever.
