I have read that Win2K & XP users should not be permantly logged in as Admin...

The thing is i can only select TV output and install programs etc when i'm an Admin... (doesn't make sense to be an admin just to play a DVD)

also XP only puts most s'cuts in the Admin Start Box but not in mine so i have to copy shortcuts from Admin to mine when i install...

so as far as i can see its not practically possible to use the PC unless i am Admin... i guess thas normal, but how am i supposed to comply with my 1st sentance with this being the case?

Should i just give myself permanent Admin rights with no password and set password on REAL Administrator as i've now done or is that a bad idea?

My guess is that it can't be no worst logged in as Admin than using 98/ME normally... is that about right or are there other things to concider?

All seems much more simpler with Admin Rights on all the Time!

How do u guys assign your admin rights and do u login with admin rights all the time?
no real problem with the way i do it now, but
just curious as to proper way.

TIA & Regards
