 Hello
 i'm looking for a messaging client that:
 1. use multiple protocolls --> pidgin great!
 2. for windows --> pidgin great!
 3. '''run with standart user rights :S'''

 If you test this software with the microsoft tool:
 Standard User Analyzer
 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=df59b474-c0b7-4422-8c70-b0d9d3d2f575&DisplayLang=en

 you'll see that this software is not yet "OK",,,
 -->CreateFileA: File (\Device\HarddiskVolume2\WINDOWS\system32\1054) is
 denied 'GENERIC_READ' access with error 0x5.
 "This application was denied acces to an object"

 or:
 -->'''This application performed an operation that requiered priviledge'''
 RegSetValueExW: Key
 (\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
 Folders) requires 'KEY_SET_VALUE' access.  This access was restricted to
 trusted users when the application called RegCreateKeyExW with
 'MAXIMUM_ALLOWED'.  If the application were running as a standard user,
 the call to RegCreateKeyExW would succeed, but this call to RegSetValueExW
 would fail.

 and many more...
 i think it's a basic thing to make a program to be runned only as
 "restricted user"...
 like in unix...

 will it be fixed?
 it would be great, because in a little/medium company with 200users using
 XP such a software should function without any "error" in the microsoft
 standart user analyzer...
 if i am not right please advise me
 thank u very much and congratulations for your good work!
 i use gaim for many years yet ;)
 yours sincerly, Dani
