Oh wow, a security disaster. You know, you can temporarily escalate your privileges if you need to modify Program Files, right? It's just one UAC prompt away.
oh god not the UAC ๐คฎ so I use a lot of software that needs to be able to handle files too and some that gets temperamental with things that mess with full screen. I get what UAC is for but for my daily use it's basically a rake for me to step on
