Firstly, it’s cool that they are there. Rather than having to do something surreal involving runas, explorer and a couple of other things to allow you to run an application at a privileged level you now encounter the ubiquitous shield icon, which tells you that to perform this operation you need to acquire the appropriate privileges. It’s a lot like the linux sudo, except by default you just have to click the ‘continue’ prompt instead of a password.
Pretty cool, even if you’re an administrative user, you don’t start with all the privileges that your group memberships provide.
Here comes the rub – I’ve stopped reading the prompts, I just find the one that tells me how to get to the next step and click on it. I’m not positive, but I think this is probably par for the course for other users as well.
Shame that, nice idea, but hamstrung by having too many things need administrative privileges.
If it wasn't for carbon-14, I wouldn't date at all
