What you're looking for is "Runas" It's available as both a context menu command (hold shift and right-click on a shortcut, control panel applet, etc.) or a command line utility for use in scripts or shortcuts.
You can create user accounts or groups with finely-tuned capabilities and permissions with gpedit.msc (Group Policy Editor), then run the application with that user's credentials using Runas.
Yes. Applications are SUPPOSED to write data to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If they don't, it's because the programmers are morons. It's sad that Microsoft would have to create a chrooted environment containing a clone of the ENTIRE global registry, just because a few programmers refuse to follow proper guidelines for storing registry information in Windows.
Hey man... Remember that time when we went to Amsterdam and picked up that hooker, but she really wasn't a hooker? She sure fucked like a hooker... And floated just like a hooker, after we suffocated her with your Rick Steeves fanny pack and dropped her fuck-battered corpse into the Amstel!!! GOOD TIMES MAN! LET'S DO IT AGAIN!
Because even the tightest user-level security can still let a virus, i.e. any malicious application, destroy the user's data. This even applies to - gasp - Unix. Maybe Vista will provide security measures that successfully protect system files from being infected, but I have no doubt that viruses will continue to ravage user's systems in other ways.
I'm tired of going into offices or homes to clean up Windows machines, and finding one or two (or more) of these "Spyware Cleaners" running in the system tray simultaneously. Most of them don't do jack squat. Half of them even contain spyware.
Good riddance. I'm really looking forward to Vista.
Hey, don't mind me if I accidentally shoot one down. I'm sure it will be just a mistake, and not on purpose at all. No way would I do that, 'cause I like being spied on.
I remember when Windows 2000 came out, and that was hyped to the hills as the most secure and high quality Windows that was really going to replace Unix everywhere.
You seem to be forgetting the fact that IT WAS and IT DID.
I'm really tempted to mod you down for the sheer shortsightedness of your statement, but it would not be fair to do so. Really, think about what you have said. What other drastic and unheard of governmental changes will you accept under the guise of protecting the public from a phantom enemy?
So... If I write down a little 16-byte message to myself in Notepad containing a name and a phone number, it will take up 4096 bytes. That's good. Thanks. I guess since disks are getting so large, they have to find a way to help me waste the space even faster.
What if I want to role-play a character named "Bob Jones" that is a time traveller from the future who has left his job as a Mr. Goodwrench mechanic to invent a time machine and travel to the ancient world to help win the war against orcs? And also, when I meet new players, I will tell them about all the wonderful inventions of the future, such as microwaves, aeroplanes, and reality television.
Blizzard probably wouldn't buy that either.-

I didn't see any AK-47 in the screenshots, but yes.. Why is the gun ejecting to the left in a right-handed configuration?
It would be nice to see a game implement stuff like first round pop in a suppressor. But if a game was that realistic, you'd also have to remove the suppressor once it's dry, wet it, and start again.
So this game is not really gun porn if you're a real gun nerd. Yeah it might be gun porn for Counter-Strike players, but what do they know about guns anyway?
Open-source software is a serious threat to this country. These terrorist schemes, or "development projects," as the terrorists refer to them, are designed to rot away the core values of our great nation that we hold so dearly. One in particular, known as "Linux," is especially suspect. It is "developed" by terrorists worldwide, many of which are communists, and many of which do not even support our great commander in chief! It is apalling! How can we trust the security of our nation to these rogue "developers?" Surely they may have hidden devices in their programs, hidden in elaborate matrices of computer programming, that when activated by the terrorists, will disable the software and send them all of our secret data! It can only be expected.
The terrorists are cunning, they are secretive, and they will destroy us if they have their way. This world-wide "open source" terrorist movement must be deconstructed and eliminated. There is no other way to protect our Great Nation! We say to you, as the purveyors of truth and all that is good, avoid this "open source" and its proponents like the plague! They wish to destroy everything we hold dear. You, my good American, are the first line of defense. Report users of "open source" to the authorities. Gather any information on them that you can. You may even consider running their dastardly "software packages" in your own free time, so that you may come to know your enemy - for knowledge is the greatest tool that we have in this fight.
Stand proud, my fellow Americans, and beware this new emerging beast. It will surely be the end of us all if we do not take action now.

Because Vista now includes Interix/Services for Unix. It's called "Subsystem for Unix Applications" now. It is replacing the old, worthless NT Posix subsystem. And no, Unix programs don't run unchanged. There is some porting involved, but many programs do build without any source changes.
I think it's incredible how many people are not even aware that this SUA is included in Vista, and also Server 2003 R2. Windows is becoming more and more like Unix. Most Windows CLI utilities can be scripted in SUA using bash, csh, or whatever else tickles your shellbone. It might not be very long until you can choose to skip UI loading in Windows if you wish, and boot straight into the Posix personality.
Now things get interesting, because you can cross-link between Win32 and Posix apps. You can write a Windows program that can call functions in an SUA-built openssl, and vice versa. So now Windows can have "hybrid" applications.

And when it becomes too much, who can we rely on to help us?
Our guns.

Visual styles work the same way in Vista. Get an XP-like Visual Style file (.msstyles extension) and there you go.

Will Win2k boot on say a pentium pro from 1995 and be usable? I don't know.
Yeah.

You're right. Ewwps.. Should've thought ahead before I spouted off there.
Hello? Where are your user mode Linux drivers? Oh yeah, now I remember. 99% of Linux drivers run in kernel mode. Shut up.

It happens when you've owned the thing since the late '80s, shipped it across the country a few times, and never stopped using it the whole time.
20 years of broken cartridge loader springs, flashing power lights, blowing into cartridges, games wigging out while you're playing, and...
