    It's only W7 that is now so picky about it. It was very rare in XP. It's about the tighter security procedures. Whatever can change important settings in your PC can only be done as admin.

    It has another side, unfortunately, I've heard from the big boys:
    If your virus protection and other security stuff is not up to it's task, your PC is also more vulnerable during the time you work as an administrator, because important settings are open for changes. A malware able to change settings can do it because executing is allowed.
