Surely a CMS-based system is the most efficient and maintainable approach?
If I was paying somebody to construct a site for me, you can bet that long-term extensibility and maintenance are going to be *very* high on the list of requirements.
Hand-coded websites, made by enthusiastic amateurs, don't fill me with confidence that both of these requirements will be fulfilled.
FileMon and RegMon are the bollocks when it comes to trying to remove admin rights for users.
Fire up that errant app with both FileMon and RegMon running in the background and you'll pretty quickly find the registry entry or file/directory that needs its "All Users" granting "Full Control".
Net result - Joe Bloggs doesn't have to run as machine administrator.
Sainsbury's do it. Here (in Coventry), if you order £70+ of stuff the delivery is only 99p. They rarely substitute with an inappropriate product and their fresh stuff really is fresh.
That's not true on a default install.
The administrator account can't be used for login or "run as" due to account restrictions. You'd have to run secpol.msc and change one of the settings (can't remember it right now).
To get as far as being able to run secpol.msc, you'd have to know somebody's password.

My lovely horse!
I do a lot of work with small businesses and domestic users.
Every single drive I've replaced in the last 12 months has been a Maxtor.
They have all been series 9, all in the 40-120 GB range.
In the same period I have not replaced drives by any other manufacturer.
Well my name is "Bern", which has the same T9 sequence as "Afro" and "Aero", both of which I've been called as a result!
"Hi Afro, are you up for a pint tonight?"
I've started to use HP desktops and laptops exclusively and I've not yet been disappointed.
No crud-ware installed, fast, quiet, subtle.
And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
I wish I were that unsuccessful.

This is from my E520.
£199? Ripped off, mate. You can get XP Home OEM for under £60. ebuyer, scan, dabs to name a few.
Please, when using terms like "national", make it clear which nation you're talking about.
The internet is GLOBAL!

I like the idea of my servers being able to IM me if a situation arise.
This is in addition to, not instead of, existing methods.

The first connected node might not be the owner, but a neighbour etc.

Try it - you can only log in as administrator in safe mode. You can't "run as" administrator either.
Don't believe me?

XP Home definitely creates an "Administrator" account which you never see on the "Welcome" page.
Also, every account created by the user *during install* is in the "Administrators " group.
Even if you password-protect every account using the control panel, the "Administrator" account remains unprotected.
If you start the machine in "Safe mode", you can log in as administrator without a password.
The number of people that I've seen go all slack-jawed when I log into their PC as administrator without a password...
It should be "too" in both cases.
I do, and I've been watching this very carefully.
SpyBot 1.4
Ghost 9.0 (9.0.2.3981)
I've never noticed any incompatibilites and I've not seen Ghost report any errors.
I have recovered the system once using Ghost and can't complain at all about it.
XP SP2, fully patched via WSUS. Using AVG networked edition (paid).
ooh, just found another.
Put your cursor over/near the graphic "separator" just above where it says "Tribute Biography (Assoc. Press Bio)". Lovely.
Oh, it's even better than that. I've got FireFox 1.5 on XP, and I choose to ignore font styles.
When I put my mouse cursor on the first line underneath where the title "George Harrison Biography (Mr Showbiz)", the site DANCES for me.
Dance George, dance!
Hey, there's still time.
Not "peak". Sheesh!
