Do you use Administrator or user level account?

I use the first manually created account, which is an Administrator.

If you voted User, it means you have to type a username and password every time you try and do something which requires Administrator access. Somehow I think 37.5% is incorrect.

EDIT - My bad. I see people are voting "User" even though they'r really using an "Administrator" account.

This poll would be more accurate if we had three options.

1. Hidden Administrator
2. Administrator
3. User

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

Is that the disabled admin account named Administrator or another admin? If it's the disabled one, you just uncheck "Account is disabled"....or maybe your talking about making it visible under control panel users with gpedit? If you are talking about another one, can you tell me where in gpedit it is so I don't spend a lot of time finding it?

Thanks

im using the user admin, and agree about the super admin security flaws.

You dont even need to gpedit it. launch cmd and type net user administrator / active and presto. to disable net user administrator /inactive (or disabled if wanted)

I use a "standard" user account with administrator privileges (in the Administrators Group).

If one is providing support for others then its best to emulate the most common environment.

I do turn the UAC setting down because it is annoying.

Now.... I still right click and select "Run As Administrator" which I think should be unnecessary as I am ALREADY logged in as administrator. Has anyone else noticed this to be necessary?

not really, just some pointless add-on in the context menu's. well for me that's all it is, i never use it, my privileges are enough to allow me to do what needs to be done.
