Well this has been a good thread.
In an effort to do things "By the Book", and supposing the wisdom of others to be greater than my own, I did indeed set things up so that I log in (at present) as a standard user, and switch to Admin when asked to. I did suppose it might give me some further protection, but based on the comments here - not really. I am computer saavy, basically the only one that uses this computer, and I stay away from the places I'm not supposed to go.
I understand Microsoft wanting to cover themselves, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't exercise a little good sense of my own. I think given what's been said (all the caveats understood), for me, logging in as Administrator and lowering or Eliminating UAC will make me a happier user.
Thank you for your input
