How to become Admin' for real?
Curt:
sorry that i haven't had time to follow up on the answers.
I AM the administrator of my PC. Guest account is not activated. The problem may be HOW various programs are installed, and/or where their shortcut is situated ("Curt-user" vs "All users"). It now #seems# to me that in general it is mostly a question of not double-clicking installation files, but right-click > Run as admin'. But I am not yet certain of this. Please teach me! On my previous computers I would always just double-click the installer, and never had this new problem.

Does any of you use the $30 (plus VAT) Windows 7 Firewall Control?
It is not clear to me if that shocking high price is for a major version's number only, or...? Please tell! :tellme:

I think the program makes it too easy to create bad settings.

I think you really need to get up to date on (maybe Windows Vista) Windows 7 and the UAC 'issue' http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/user-account-control
Curt:
Sorry, I have of course been terrible bad, explaining myself. :-[
I have no problem with UAC; I have a severe problem with some shortcuts opening a guest / none-admin version of my Internet browser or Explorer. I am the administrator and only user, there are no guests - so everything I do must be recognized as being done by the admin; nothing must tell me that I don't have the right to save a picture in C:/filename.jpg
