• The User Account Control system in Windows 7 allows the security level for an account to be fine-tuned, to the degree required, based on how trusted the user and computer environment are.
• Instead of using the Run As feature, as found in earlier operating systems, standard users performing an administrative action can be prompted by Windows 7 for administrator approval to complete the action.
• To avoid frequent administrative prompts by User Account Control for common user tasks that are not considered risky, Windows 7 has added privileges to the standard user account. The default User Account Control settings allow changes made to Windows settings by the user; however, changes made by applications will trigger a security prompt.
