No offense taken. The use I have for this is we are installing Windows 7 on some laptops at the community college I work at in the IT department.
The programs that we install, I know are safe, so I was wondering how to create shortcuts that would not need authorization, on top of the fact that not all users on the computer will have Admin access. Then leave UAC on so that if someone with Admin access installs a program they will get the pop-up to warn them that they are doing something that could be harmful.

We fight so much Spam, Adware, porn etc... Just trying to figure a little way around it.

On that note, what do you guys use to scan for viruses?
