[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1079807, member: 99434"] Apparently before UAC was included with the release of Windows Vista, Micrososft never claimed it was a security feature, but rather a convenience feature, and their well known software engineer Mark Russinovich explains this in a lengthy UAC article back in the day: [URL unfurl="true"]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/technet-magazine/dd822916(v=msdn.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN[/URL] That's not to say they couldn't have made it a robust security feature, just that it apparently was not designed to be a security feature in the first place. Nice link, excellent read, and just to add to your quote: Apologies [USER=91306]@wat0114[/USER] but when I quoted your post, one of the quotes didn't come through and my repair job only made things worse.
