Yes, but you need the password then. With admin priviledges you can run "as admin" without needing to know the password. The privileged account still runs programs in normal mode (unprivileged), but can launch programs with elevated permissions.
- pawadu 9y agoSo basically log in as admin and hope you don't press Yes on a UAC dialog by accident? Sounds dangerous to me.
- Const-me 9y agoThe dialog has been designed in a way so that’s almost impossible to press by accident, nor programmatically. Specially dimmed background, characteristic sound, the dialog runs on a dedicated desktop i.e. you won’t see any apps nor the start menu. Also the default button is No i.e. you can’t accidentally press Yes with enter or space keys, you have to use a mouse.
