Let XP system also get Vista security features (2)

Windows XP has a command called "Run Mode" that allows you to temporarily borrow other accounts to run the application. Usually it is used when a restricted account wants to temporarily use administrator privileges, for example, when installing a program.

You can think of these things as the protection provided by UAC in Vista.

Its philosophy is to use it when you run the most vulnerable applications - browsers and emails, when you are a restricted user, even if the worst happens, malware Attacking your application, it can't take its bad deeds to the limit.

For this method to work, you can run your browser and email client as a restricted user while other programs are running as administrators. This will reduce a lot of problems caused by installing or opening a program, and will allow you to maintain the current settings for the application, as well as the date file path and so on.

For example, right-click on the IE shortcut on the desktop and select "Run as" in the menu of Windows Explorer or Quick Launch Bar. Then enter or select a restricted user account in the user below, and enter the password and click "OK".

You can automate this process so you don't have to right click every time. Right click on the shortcut and select "Properties", click on the "Shortcuts" tab, then click on the "Advanced" button. Check "Run as another user" and click "OK".

From now on, when you open the program from this shortcut, the first thing you will see is an account dialog. Once again, you can choose to run as an administrator or as another account. So, what we are talking about is the need to choose a limited account.

Note: Inconvenient to use because it requires a limited account.
