Your computer must have at least one administrative account
so you can only demote your account by logging on to another
administrative account.

go to control panel, click on user accounts, then manage another account
, then 'add a new user in PC settings which will switch to a metro
looking full screen app, then select: manage another account/add account

add that account as standard (default) then when you log back in just
log in the standard acct,

as far as I know you can't change your own admin acct to standard if you
are the sole user on your PC

you'd need at least 2 to select the standard

Hope that helps

I was wondering, in Windows Vista and up since UAC controls what can be
downloaded normally, does it really make a difference to browse under a
standard acct? If it does, is it because of 'drive by' downloads that
can be installed silently without any user consent? I was always
mystified how this happens,

I'm guessing Noscript for FF helps in stopping that sort of thing (and a
very good AV)

Come get your ticket to CyberFROG city

Nay, Art thou decideth playeth ye simpleton games. *Some* of us know
proper manners

Very few. Ya know ahh, ahhh I used to take calls from *rank* noobs but got
fired the first day on the job for potty mouth,

Bur-ring, i'll get this one: WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM JERK!!? We're here to
help you dickweed, ok, ok give the power cord the jiggily piggily wiggily
all the while pushing the power button repeatedly now take everything out
of your computer except the power supply and *one* stick of ram.
Subscriber asks will that ****in' work? I guaranDAMtee it. Ok get the next
sucker on the phone.

I'm not Sam Hong but we both hate Roxio. Sam Hong pulled Roxio's Dong!

There's the employer and the employee and the FROGGER and the FROGEE,
which one are you?

Hamster isn't a newsreader it's a mistake!

El-Gonzo Jackson FROGS both me and Chuckcar (I just got EL-FROG-OED!!)

All hail Chuckcar the CZAR!! Or in F-R-O-Gland Chuckcar laFROG laCZAR,

I hate them both, With useless bogus bull**** you need at least *three*
fulltime jobs to afford either one of them

Always do incremental backups of your data or you'll end up like the A To
Z(Zee)-Holes at DSL Reports. Justin says i made a boo-boo. Yeah boo-who.

Updates are for idiots. As long as the thing works there's no reason to
turn
schizophrenic and develop a lifelong complex over such a silly issue.

You don't have to be "stink-bottomed" to post on this newsgroup

Anyone who disagrees with me gets FROG tape over their yapper
