In linux, much like the new Vista you need administrative permissions to change anything outside your personal folders. One very effective trick I came use is
sudo nautilus that opens a file browsing window, however every program I exeicute, and every file I open is exictued or opened with advanced privilages. When that window is closed, or if I simply click in a diffrent, normally opened window I'm still on low, safe privilages

What I was wandering is can you do the same on Windows Vista? Run Explorer.exe as admin? Or is it so tightly woven into the OS that that won't work or practically be the same as logging in as admin?

In Linux, I usually open the File browser in super user mode, but so far, I don't see a way to do that in Vista.
