Hi Leigh,
As you know, with all the security hoopla and viruses, administrators 
are getting weary of applications that work OK in 98 but has to run as 
administrator in XP Pro or 2000/2003. With proper design, it can be 
possible to write you stuff such that it does not have to run as an 
administrator.

Try to get the book writing secure code Second Edition - this has what I 
spoke about among other things.

On the cover of the book, there is this quote....

"Required reading at Microsoft..." - Bill Gates
