Report: Windows holes eased by axing admin rights.
Vulnerabilities in Windows are mitigated by configuring users without administrator rights

You must have mental telepathy, hotdoge3! Am only person using this puter. Use it under name of "Owner". But in past few days I'm getting (logged on) as Administrator. Had learned long ago should not use it as Admin, to use another name, so I use "Owner" daily. Tried to fix it so when I turn this thing on it goes to Owner, but can't figure out how to do it. Have to go on as Admin then log off and log back on. Oh so confusing.
Anyway, about all I recall as to WHY a person shouldn't sign on daily as Administrator had to do with mistakingly changing settings, makes it easier for hackers, or whatever. So it was real nice to see your post. (And yes, I read the news at cnet.)
