Bad habits acquired with Admin rights:

I never run my home PC with Admin rights unless I specifically need to. Periodically I go to look at the calendar the way I always do at work: by double-clicking on the time in the system tray. Ha.

"You do not have the proper privilege level to change the System Time"

Let me see the calendar you bastard! lol

I'm an Admin, I swear.

Windows-7 allows me to create a separate virtual without Admin rights. Sometimes it's annoying to have to switch IDs to change something, but it's already caught a couple programs trying to download without my permission, actually without my knowledge. I believe operating as admin is what caused me to get infected with the virus from hell, last time. So I put up with the occasional inconvenience... but that doesn't keep me from saying naughty words.
