why doesn't spyware "remember"

[Chuck Flink]

Every time I login, I'm notified that I had changed
my "My Documents" directory from the default location.

I approve the change and check the box for spyware
to "remember".... but it doesn't!

I ignored this for the first couple of months, thinking
this was an obvious Beta bug, soon to be fixed.

Does everybody else put up with this bug?

I have one Admin login for administrative use and all my
working accounts are "limited" users. Could it be that
the software only "remembers" for members of the admin
group?

Note: poor choice of word "limited"; these users should
be called "protected" users, since the limitations are
there to protect against spoof and Trojan attacks. User
with admin authority should never run programs that are
untrustworthy, including browsing to risky sites.

It astounds me how foolish MS has been to allow a decade
go by with the majority of users STILL running as
administrators... they are asking to be hacked.

The present version of Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta 1 works correctly only
under accounts with Administrator rights. In future versions, this might
change.

Microsoft recommends logging on a regular user and using
runas for installations and programs that require Admin
privileges. Hopefully this software will someday become
compliant with Microsoft "best practices"
