Project 13-2

Log onto Vista using an account with Administrator rights. Open Windows Explorer
and right-click drive C. On the shortcut menu, click Properties and then click Disk
Cleanup in the properties box.






Clean up files for all users. In the Disk Cleanup box,
select Downloaded Program Files, Temporary Internet Files, Recycle Bin, and
Temporary files and click OK.





Next, log onto the system using an account that does not have Administrator rights. How
are you limited in the way you can perform a Disk Cleanup? Why do you think this limitation
exists?


When you log on as a user without administrator rights, you are still able to get to the above options, but once you click the button "Clean up system files" you are prompted to enter the user name and password of an administrator account.  Good ole UAC!  This prevents just anyone deleting someone elses files.
