Vista sets admin rights depending on programme name

Posted on by

Oddly enough, anything named ‘install’ will be seen by Vista as requiring Admin rights. However, just rename it and you don’t require admin rights any more. It’s being touted as a ‘feature’ of course, but it’s one of the most bloody stupid features I’ve ever heard of.
A bit like having username ‘Magix’ and being able to log in to the same account as user ‘M’ in XP.
