A security reason to use the 'user account ' instead of the 'administrator' for your personal PC account?

I need to perform regular tasks in week and maintenance tasks on the weekends, there is no problem if I login as administrator for the week and the weekend.

If I create 2 accounts: user (weekdays) and Director (weekends), then I run in question switching between the 2 accounts.

I would like to know what security advantage using user account during the week instead of the administrator account.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

I support of many PC, win7 & win8 they all default admin win and a second account with administrator privileges. By default, they all start on the win by default admin account.

Touch wood I never had no problems, over several years, (some systems are used by children)

One piece of malware in several years. No installed family safety, children have been educated.

Some are enterprise systems running 24/7 as they treat the various procedures "out of hours".

  • Cannot access the internet using the account invited in Vista. Unable to access using the administrator account.

    This one is strange - and I repeat that the problem is that I can't access the internet by using the administrator account.  The guest account works fine.  All programs are there and launch the fine (IE, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc.), but they cling right there when I try to log on or access to any Web site.

    While in the administrator account, I ran "CMD" in the run menu and can ping Yahoo, Google, etc. with success.  It's embarrassing - any ideas how the administrator account can act that way then the guest account works perfectly?

    Assuming that you are talking about disk space from in the guest OS. You are probably using an MBR partition table, which limits the maximum usable disk space to ~ 2 TB. In order to use the entire disk space, you need a GPT partition table.

  • When to use the cursor for loop and the cursor (open, fetch, close)

    Hello world
    I have a small doubt about when to use the cursor for loop and when to use the cursor for loop and the cursor (open, fetch, close).
    Well, I'm not the difference between implicit and explicit cursor. So please tell me how I got to know, what to use and when?




    Kind regards

    All SQLs are analyzed, stored and executed as cursors. Thus, you will always use a cursor.

    The problem is that languages, such as PL/SQL, provide different interfaces to interact with the SQL cursor. As the ref, the slider interface, the interface DBMS_SQL slider interface and so on.

    Each of these interfaces offers different features. For example, using the interface DBMS_SQL allows binding dynamics and dynamic recovery. The Ref Cursor interface allows your code PL/SQL pass a handle to a reference pointing to the SQL cursor, to an external client. Etc.

    The fundamental reason for the use of an explicit cursor interface is mainly that you own and manage bulk made extraction output provided by PL/SQL cursor.

    With a cursor FOR , the motor loop of PL/SQL optimize the loop by extracting block a 100 lines both. However, you cannot access this collection in bulk directly inside the loop.

    With an explicit cursor interface, you specify the size of the extraction in bulk via the clause LIMIT , and you set the variable of collection to use. This allows you to use the collection directly variable inside the loop.

    However, the need to do - code manually in bulk collection - rarely occur in the daily programs in PL/SQL. A line of treatment is both slow and not well fits. And even if your bulk code collects lines, these lines must still be processed one at a time in your code. It is much more efficient and scalable rather write SQL code, and make the engine SQL the line of treatment for you.

  • Install CS5.5 and use the license for CS6.0?

    I don't want to install CS6.0 because all users have CS5.5

    If it s not possible, what is the alternative?

    @Robban, just to make things clear, for CS6 serial key will not work with the installation of CS5.5, because both are two different applications. So, as Mylenium says, you won't be able to buy CS5.5 now as its not available for sale more.

    It's a question of how the recipients e-mail programs deal with attachments. Many e-mail programs will open all the files they can handle, including files jpg and PDF, by default, and if the recipient has not changed that there is nothing you can do about it. The only solution is to the compress first, then it will be delivered as an attachment, allowing the recipient to decompress and open it.

  • What is a good way to use the queues for the model of consumers/producers?

    Hi all

    I am following the model of consumers/producers to use the queue to synchronize the following process: the producer is a loop to produce a number N, I will put each number generated in a table and after each 5 numbers generated, I put the table in the queue and pass it on to the consumer. I have to wait the use by consumers of the data and it will then remove the item from queue so that producers will have the chance to produce another 5 numbers. As I put the maximum size of the queue one, I expect that the producer and the consumer turns to produce / consume all five numbers and the opportunity to another. Here is my code

    When the checkbox is false, the code will be

    For the first 5 numbers, product will generate every thing right and put it in the table, and it's going to pass the array to the quere so that the consumer will have the chance to loop through the table. I except the procude loop will continue only when the queue is available (i.e. all items are deleted), but it seems that once the consumer starts the loop loop of the product will continue (if the indicator x + 1 and x 2 will be changed to numbers). But this isn't what I want, I know there must be something wrong, but I can't say it is.

    As you say in 1, sequency structure to enforce the order of execution, that's why I put it here, in this example, the simple question, I replace the complete code with increase in the number, in the real case, the first markers + 1 and + 2 must be performed in this order.

    Mikeporter says:
    1. get rid of all the structures of the sequence. None of them are nothing but apply a work order which would have been the same without them.

    So even if you delete the sequence structure, there will be a fixed & defined order and it is because LabVIEW follows the MODEL of FLOW OF DATA.

    Data flow model (more precisely in the context of LabVIEW): a block diagram node runs when it receives the required inputs. When a node is running, it produces output data and transmits data to the next node in the path of the data stream. The flow of data on the nodes determines the order of execution of the VIs and functions on the block diagram (click here for reference).

    Now in your code, just remove the sequence structure will not make you order will be going to stay the same, but you need to do some very minor changes (as thread of the error in loop, before that he go to the node "Élément Dequeue").

    Come to the main point: it's a good way to use the queue for the consumer/pmodel that?
    The model you are using (and qualifying as consumer/pmodel) is much too deviated from the original consumer/pmodel which model.

    dragondriver wrote:

    For the second, Yes, it's my fault for delete, though. I'm actually the example of model of producer/consumer design pattern, but I do not pay attention to the while loop in the part of the consumer.

    While loops (two producers & consumers) are the essential part of this architecture and cannot be deleted. You can start your code using standard model.
