Running as Local Admin on a DEV box - Just say NO!.

"It IS lazy coding. This need for elevate privileges occurs when a developer runs as Local Administrator on their own dev box and cranks out software that in turn has no concept of rights and limits. I have made a conscious attempt to run as a regular User on my DEV box. "
Great point. I saw Keith last year and it really made me think. Probably not enough since I still make this mistake a lot of times :D
Anil: "One of the things that I will try to document in my explorations are programs that violate this rule.. Especially ones that a developer needs to use on an ongoing basis. "
Great. Can't wait to see it.
"One of the people whose views I am following through his writings is Keith Brown of Developmentor. He has been advocating this for a long time... Here are some links to what he has to say about running as a non-Administrator on your dev box. "
Good links.
