When Mark Russinovich was testing his company's security software last week, he came across a disturbing find: a Sony BMG CD he purchased from Amazon had secretly installed DRM software on his PC and used "rootkit" cloaking methods to hide it. With the story sweeping across the Net, Sony is attempting to clean up its mess.

Here is some good info for people wanting to know about running as limited users on windows http://nonadmin.editme.com/
Also in xp I know if your running as limited and want to get admin abilites there is a few programs out there for that.
Plus though CMD you can do a runas /profile /user:mahincenameadminname cmd and get a new CMD window with admin abilities and do what you need with the admin account, install stuff, edit settings, change file and folder permissions using cacls or get subinacl seeing as it has more abilities than just cacls does.
