【 Weak current College 】 how XP system can get Vista security features

Microsoft will user account interface (UAC) as one of the most significant characteristics of a new security. While Microsoft's UAC is already in the Linux and MacOSX based on UNIX for a long time used in the security model, it requires some user action such as installing software in mandate requires administrator rights, while at other times, it gives users a lower permissions.
So why use it? this is to allow users to stay away from hackers. If an attacker does not fix the bug on the browser took an attack, he would steal the user's permissions. Because users can install software, hackers are able to do. So how will the results of? hackers will "have" to your computer, and on some Trojans implantation or worms, there are some covert spy software.

Many Windows users have always been an administrator to run Windows, because Microsoft has never let administrators and non-administrators have too much difference. In fact, if your permission is low, the work will be more difficult.

In the face of growing and furtive variable attack, take a look at these two methods, you can let your WindowsXP, or even earlier versions of Windows, you can get a UAC that protection.

Method 1: use permissions restricted users

At a glance this method maybe you will feel on Windows sets a non-administrator account is easy to let people find it funny, but then you might want to know, vista and it's what UAC is fussy about things.

Yes, you can easily click through several times, in the Control Panel's user account settings for a low-privileged account. In this, before you click on "create a new account" and give this account a name before you create will it set to "restricted".

When this operation completes – just like in XP when you work for a limited account, when you're after a clean install WindowsXP or using a new computer, if you use limited accounts system work for a period of time, you'll find you before practice was a nightmare start.

You will not be able to access your previously stored in "my documents" in the document, because this folder is now locked under the administrator account. Some of you before the installation of the program is also mysteriously disappear. At this point, the entire operating system is like a takes a long time to make custom versions. For example, firefox plugin, it will disappear, Word will revert to its standard configuration. You must spend several hours to recreate them when you run as administrator settings when XP.

Not to mention there will be some application you will be unable to install unless you are in an administrator account. Or that they can be installed, but does not have administrator permissions, it will refuse to run. You want to avoid this situation can only adequate right-click this installation file, and select run as administrator, and enter the password, but this is not necessarily effective manner.

Method 2: use the "run mode"

WindowsXP one of them, the "run as" command, it can make you temporarily borrow other account to run the application. Usually it is used in a restricted account to temporarily use administrator privileges, for example, during the installation of a program.

You can use these things as Vista's UAC provides protection.

Its concept is used in when you run the most vulnerable applications — browser and email, you as a restricted user, even if the worst happens, malware attacks on your application, it will not be able to play it to the extreme of evil.

To make this method to take effect, you can in the other program is running as an administrator, your browser and e-mail client to run restricted users. This can reduce many of the procedures for installing or open questions raised when, and to let you keep the current settings of the application, as well as on the file path, and so on.

For example, right click on desktop shortcut to IE, in WindowsExplorer or Quick Launchbar menu, select the "Runas". Then in the following user, enter or select a limited user account, and enter a password click on "OK".

You can make this process Automation so you don't need to click on the right every time. Right-click the shortcut and choose "Properties", click on the "shortcut" tab, then click on "Advanced" button. Hook and select "run as another user" and click "OK".

From now on, when you open a shortcut from the program, first you will see is an account dialog box, you can choose to run as administrator or another account, here, as is the need to select a limited account.
