Unlike UNIX and UNIX-like systems such as Linux and Apple Computer\u2019s Mac OS X, Windows isn\u2019t very useable with a non-Administrator account, largely because so many applications are ignorant of rights and were written to work only with Administrator-level accounts. This is particularly problematic in a home environment, in which XP Home Edition\u2019s crippled Limited Account type, designed for children and less-technical users, is virtually useless. In Windows XP, the lame Run As option, virtually hidden under a right-click menu that typical users will never know about, is a poor substitute.\u201d &#8211; Source<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter you log on to a computer by using a Limited User Account, you may observe one or more of the following behaviors when you try to use a program that is not expressly designed for Windows XP.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The program does not run.<br \/>\n&#8211; The program stops responding (hangs).<br \/>\n&#8211; You receive notification of run-time error 7 or run-time error 3446.<br \/>\n&#8211; The program does not recognize that a CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM drive.<br \/>\n&#8211; The program does not allow you to save files.<br \/>\n&#8211; The program does not allow you to open files.<br \/>\n&#8211; The program does not allow you to edit files.<br \/>\n&#8211; The program displays a blank error message.<br \/>\n&#8211; You cannot remove the program.<br \/>\n&#8211; You cannot open the Help file.<\/p>\n<p>This behavior can occur because the Limited User Account prevents older programs from performing certain functions.
