fucking windows is so fucking gay

In Windows you pretty much have to be logged in as an administrator to do anything if you're above the computer n00b level. If you dont have admin priveledges you cant install a lot of progs, run a lot of stuff, and can't even change the fucking clock!
I've actually recently experienced a problem while running DVD Decrypter from a normal user account. WTF is that? Just shows you gotta be admin-level to do anything in Windows.

What the hell is this about not logging in as Admin??? I mean - let's go to the root of the problem ... why the fuck do I need to log in on my home computer? The whole login concept is plain stupid if we are talking about computers that are used by one or two persons.
And about the viruses - I don't use AV programs (just maybe every 6 months I do a system scan) - and never had problems. It's very simple - don't use IE or Outlook, look from time to time at what programs are running (and I don't mean through the taskmanager - use a program that shows you all the processes) and don't do anything stupid - like running suspicious attachements. And the most important thing of all - don't use the latest version of Windows, use older versions that have more patches - I use Win98 (with all the patches installed) or Win2K (sp4).

I use Win2k with Sp4. Remember, Win2k shares all the same exploits that XP has.

Uhm... if you make an account as an administrator in Windows, that account is standard in the Machine Local Administrator group.
Maybe you should install it again on the account that you want to use it on, must be something with "%root\Documents and Settings\".
