Let XP system also get Vista's security features (1)

  
Microsoft has the User Account Interface (UAC) as one of the most significant new security features. The UAC
used by Microsoft is a security model that has been used for a long time in Linux and Unix-based Mac OS X. It requires users to perform some tasks such as installing software, and administrator rights are required. At other times, the user is also given lower privileges.

So why use it? This is to let users stay away from hackers. If an attacker takes an attack on the browser with an unrepaired bug, he will steal the user's privileges. Because users can install software, hackers can do it. So what happens? The hackers will "own" your computer and embed some Trojans or worms on it, as well as some hidden spyware
.

Many Windows users have always been running Windows as an administrator, because Microsoft has never made a difference between administrators and non-admins in the past. In fact, if you have lower privileges, it will be more difficult to work.

Face the ever-increasing and mysterious attacks. But why wait for it? Take a look at the two methods described below, you can make your Windows XP, set to an earlier version of Windows, get a protection like UAC.

Method 1: Use restricted users

At first glance, you may think that setting up an account that is not Administrative
in Windows is easy. People feel ridiculous, and at this point you may want to know what a fuss will happen to Vista and its UAC.

Yes, you can easily set up a low-privileged account in the user account of the control panel with a few clicks. Here, when you click "Create a new account" and give this account a name, please set it to "Restricted" before creating it.

When this is done - just like when working with a restricted account in XP, when you are using Windows XP after a new installation or when using a new computer, if you use the system of the first account For a while, you will find that your previous practice is a beginning of a nightmare.

You won't be able to access the documents you previously stored in My Documents because this folder is now locked under the admin account. Some of the programs you have installed before will disappear mysteriously. At this point, the entire operating system is like a version that takes a long time to re-customize. For example, Firefox, its plugin will disappear, and Word will return to its standard configuration. You have to spend hours re-creating these settings when you run XP as an administrator.

Not to mention that there will be some applications that you will not be able to install at all unless you are under an administrator account. Or they can be installed, but it will refuse to run without administrator privileges. You should avoid this situation by simply right clicking on the installation file and choosing to run as administrator and enter the password, but this is not necessarily a valid way.

Note: There is no way to do this, because this method is too much trouble.
