Hi,

actually i have the same question as 1image. i learned something from the replies that you all put up.

However, i have one question to ask...if the user has only the "Power User" right, :- they couldn't installs software nor delete or modify the system files. Do they still require the windows update?

Please advice. Thanks alot. Appreciate for any inputs.

Justin (Singapore)

What he was trying to say is when a user is provided with a limited account feature.. Where the particular users does'nt have the rights to install or remove a S/W.. Yes this question is not related to the topic. The Virus and other nasties comes using the internet. So if you switch it of you don't have to update your Windows nor you have to be worried about the virus and the nasties
There is just two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.

yes, for connection to domains e.g college network. Also it has IIS which is good if you are a comp/sci student.

You can probably get it free through your college/uno - look into it
