the best way to stay safe on xp is NOT to use IE and and to lock it down so the only page that it will load is windows update and use firefox or pale moon or chrome and install a addblock extension and disconnect or ghostery and enabling Click to Play and if you want to go to adult webpages use sandboxie to sandbox a portable version of the web browser and in the Restrictions/Drop Rights enable drop rights from administrator and power user group
no uac just gets in the way smart uses ignore it because they know what they are doing dum uses ignore it because thay do not know what they are doingKonata wrote:I don't think UAC is much about babying the user as it is protecting them. You're essentially saying "If I unlock my front door once I want to keep it unlocked".
imho the only time you need to run as a admin is when you are setting up the computer and to install new or update software or installing drivers
