My UAC is always turned on and DEP is for all programs except those I specify. Speaking about the user, I never work as Admin unless I need to change some critical system settings. Working as an Admin all the time is in my opinion plainly dangerous.
ugh.... I always login as admin on my personal computer. I got tired of all the "Are you absolutely, positively sure that you wanna do this?" popups every five minutes, and the "don't have permission to save that file here!". Pisses me off. I own the computer, quite thinking you know more than me!
I was under the impression that even Admins in Vista are basically logged in as standard users by default, with UAC acting as a bridge to full administrator permissions (simply put).
For these reasons wouldn't being logged into an account with admin privileges in Vista be a bit "safer" than being logged into an account with admin privileges in XP? Or is there a bigger part of the picture I am missing (maybe an entirely different photograph somewhere )?
But for me UAC is always on with DEP for essentials.
