Reference in made to Using a Least-Privileged User Account

After setup and installation it is almost impossible to tolerate the amount of
crashes once the suite has been established and setups made under Adminisatrator.

ALL user of my LAN onlky are permitted LUA...and every PC on the LAN has and
Administrastor asccount for me to utilise to view .evt logs and alike.

Without exception every application I own happy runns under LUA on seteup

Installation on new products is permitted most of the time user thev LUA account
but in when windows installerv runns it asks for an Administrator account and
password and most applications that use Windows Installler will happily install
and configure using the LUA account but utilising the permissions of an
Administrator account for installation.

With the Mozilla suite once installed and setup under Administrator

Profile Manager and ALL Mozilla icons will not even execute under the LUA account.

This is NOT acceptable for this secure site where my hope was to trasfer ALL
users to the Mozilla Suite but I do not want to send any more Microsoft Error
Reporting  reports as xI feel toi send them when the application fails to
execute under LUA is offensive for fine companies like mozilla to send their
dups to Microsoft.

I will be aplly to change all users to the Mozilla Suite once the application
will run under LUA.

Please action this quickly..Project Longhorn will encourage most ALL users to
run LUA ccount and unlike windows XP the user WILL be able to do simple things
like set the internet time under LUA.

Currently there is NO Problem running and applying changes to ALL my application
when ALL user are using LUA.

I would be greatful when I can run the Mozilla Suite sucessfully under Windows 
Least-Privileged User Account in windows XP thatv you could let me know and I
will be delighted to change every user and all strongly suggest to all my
clients to use this application

Many Thanks

Downgraded to Major
Some application DO work under LUA, however when closing an application 
windows Microsoft error reporting called in action...which I do not permit to 
send!
