Re: Cyber sex in action

Well, I was in IT in a bank several years ago (in the U.S.). One of the major companies for bank software needed to have users logged in as administrators for their software to work properly. Coworkers and I spent many hours after each new version of software was released to find out what permissions needed to be changed in program files and registry entries so users could be logged in as a standard user instead of an admin. Very frustrating, but too often the tech support answer from software providers was to "just have users login as administrators". I'm retired now, so I don't know if things are better. It was very frustrating at the time.
