[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1124948, member: 32260"] Most Administrator Protection features are already present in Windows when using a Standard User Account. Both SUA and Administrator Protection prevent automated elevation of privileges; users must authorize each attempt to make system changes. For Home users, the only significant difference is when installing applications or running tools with high privileges. The installation (or tool) started on SUA and then elevated, must use the Administrator user profile. So, the changes in the registry and initial settings are often stored outside SUA and are unavailable on the SUA account. But nowadays, most applications know how to handle this issue. Anyway, it will not happen when using Administrator Protection. [/QUOTE]
