With Unix based systems, even as a home user, you will tend to not use an administrator/root account for general purpose computer usage, instead you will be in one of the groups/users entries in the sudo-ers file to allow you to access root.
On Windows, I know you have the administrator account which is locked unless you run:
...but you still tend to have an administrator account for daily business. This kind of defeats the object of being able to log in via UAC to an elevated user...surely?
Is there any benefit of enabling the administrator user and then using a standard account for normal stuff, or will it make installation of applications pig-awkward when you do need administrator access?
Thanks
