All subsequent user accounts are created as standard users in Windows 7
Standard user accounts and administrator user accounts can use UAC enhanced security. In new Windows 7 installations, by default, the first user account created is a local administrator account in Admin Approval Mode (UAC enabled). All subsequent accounts are then created as standard users.
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 reduce the number of UAC prompts that local administrators and standard users must respond to.
To reduce the number of prompts that a local administrator must respond to:
File operation prompts are merged.
Internet Explorer prompts for running application installers are merged.
Internet Explorer prompts for installing ActiveX® controls are merged.
The default UAC setting allows a standard user to perform the following tasks without receiving a UAC prompt:
Install updates from Windows Update.
Install drivers that are downloaded from Windows Update or included with the operating system.
View Windows settings. (However, a standard user is prompted for elevated privileges when changing Windows settings.)
Pair Bluetooth devices to the computer.
Reset the network adapter and perform other network diagnostic and repair tasks.
