Windows 7: Do you use Administrator or user level account?

Do you use Administrator or user level account?

By administrator I mean the one you have to unhide using the policy editor.

I use Super user (unhid admin) the elevate thing just is wrong

I'll just assume I'm using Admin =P

If you didnt follow the tutorial on enabling the hidden built in administrator account then your just a user who happens to have some admin powers.

Well since I am trying to see what runs and what doesn't for the average user I haven't gone threw brought the Admin out.
So far I have yet to see the reason to regedit the hidden account out yet, yeah the prompts do get to me from time to time but they slowly go away.

I dont see why anyone needs to use it unless there's a problem with their usual account, I don't use it because the built-in administrator account just runs with virtualization and UAC disabled and also causes problems with some older xp/2000 applications (i.e. CivilCad & Visual Studio) that need the virtualization to run properly on Vista/Windows 7.

The standard Admin User (not the hidden one) works just fine.
Using the SuperAdmin (the hidden one) is a security issue. If a virus gets in with that, it has full run of your sys.

You are right dmex, using a user level account has added security merrits.

Standard admin is just fine for me.

You can also just run a single command from the run box to enable it.
