OK, that's true that my users will never run the *admin* client. But this
"Note" was stated in the manual for the *Windows backup-archive client*
(Chapter 2), and does not refer specifically to the admin client -
therefore implying that Administrator priv is required even to run the
*backup-archive* client.
Is anyone out there running Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and using the
backup-archive GUI client while logged in as a user, without Administrator
privs?
Thanks -
Tony
