As I said earlier, there is an option to run as admin:



If it's the same in windows, how does it become a negative point. Be reasonable dude. Be reasonable!!!

There is a difference here in Linux. I just need to fire up the terminal pressing one of the special keys on my keyboard and type a line to install an app using sudo. Basically speaking, I don't enter desktop of root EVER.

That's what I want to do in windows. I am forced to log OUT and log in admin mode. And the run-as option is awesome, but I still can't do things like run filemanager in administrator mode, etc.

And is there something like fakeroot for Windows ? I.E, some old games compulsorily need administrator access though there is nothing in the game justifying its need. So is there an app to execute another app while fooling it that its being run as administrator ?

In a nutshell, I don't ever want to have to look at the desktop of administrator user except in safe mode.
