Probably not of interest to everyone but maybe a few might find it nice to have though it does have a lot of sections that might
come in handy for anyone (new or experienced users)

Thanks for the link.
This quote may be of interest to some people. :-)

User Account Control (UAC)
In Windows 8, by default, all interactive users, including members of the Administrators group, run as standard users.
UAC is the mechanism through which users can elevate applications to full administrator privileges.
Because of UAC, applications that require administrator rights or check for administrator privileges behave differently
in Windows 8, even when run by a user as administrator.
NOTE Windows 8 apps require UAC. If you disable UAC, Windows 8 apps will not run.
