What I hate most about windows system

all security features. made secure pretty can't use more. hope there's way disable freacking called security features.

some stupid decisions not make sense. example, administrator, can't change files's security settings, can't delete file! these people out of mind.

i know if dig deep enough, , ask enough questions in forum, learn trick how delete file. freak me out is: why hekc make difficult without problem? why need "trick" remove freaking file?

 

hi calving,

 

i explain new feature has been added windows vista, windows server 2008 , later versions of windows – user account control (uac).

 

the principle of least privilege users given privileges absolutely necessary perform given task, configuring computer, surfing web, playing game, or sending e-mail, etc.  microsoft incorporated idea of least privilege windows protect users malicious software; uac implementation protects user , enables them perform administrator functions elevating privileges when needed.

 

windows vista , later version of windows’ implementation of user account control (uac) our answer these attacks.  default well, windows run every application least privilege if user logs on administrator.

 

with windows vista when restricted user (a user restricted account) attempts install application, user prompted “program requires administrative rights” , prompt require user account administrative privileges entered before installation continue (sometimes called “over shoulder” authentication). 

 

for example, in windows xp, cannot update system in restricted accounts. however, in windows vista, customers' convenience, if try update system in restricted account, need ask computer administrator enter administrator password approve action. in way, can decrease virus attack viruses in programs children use restricted accounts. in administrator accounts, not run programs administrator default. prevent malware or unsecure programs installing on system automatically. when need install programs, such updates, can run programs administrator. believe can decrease virus attack.
