I am always logged on as Administrator, I feel maybe itis safer for me to generally log in as a different account, so I am curious what you guys use to log in with, I know some of you recomend doing what I am asking, but as a Pro User account or just normal user or what exactly?

    I control everything that is run on my systems so I always log on as an Admin; whether it's the actual Administrator account, or just an account with admin privileges.

    I always log on using an admistrative tier account, which is basically an account with admin rights. (Like above)

    It is not like linux, with windows you still don't have very much control even if you are the admin.

    I beg to differ, ever use MMC and other apps? It pretty much gives you the versatility of Linux.

    IMO, you should never use the real administrator account unless you need to fix something, for the rest of the time, it's a user id with admin privilages.

    I'm not arguing, but am wondering what is the difference?
