Thank you. Sometimes i feel the message doesn't get across. Run as is a 
false sense of security. Majority of MS apps ( that gets owned ) run 
with Admin or Local System priviledges. Does Run as works on IE ? on 
Office ? on IIS ?

My point was that instead of 'hiding' computer knowledge from the 'user' 
, and introducing false 'hyped' security such as 'RunAs', assuming his 
stupidity, i think people will be likely to understand that to install a 
program they would have to use a different account than from browsing 
pages. Especially when the company behind has lots of $$$ to make it 
friendly and understood. 15 years ago people thought only a few people 
will ever use email......
