standard user).
a) A dialog appears demanding permission to
continue with computer administrator
privileges after disabling User Account
Control.

software.
If the permission is not given, the utility
software will inform which restrictions will be
imposed and then run. In this case, you cannot
change the settings in the User Settings screen
or use a log deletion function.
When using Windows 7
The behavior of the software depends on
the type of user account (computer
administrator or standard user) and on the
