That's more than 99% true, but not 100%. I have run across a program
that rejected an admin name and password when run from a non-admin
account, but worked fine from an admin account. But such cases are very
rare, and I can see arguments for saying that a program that behaves
that way should not be used.

To which one(s) are you referring?

One of the earlier versions of ClamXav. The program worked fine from a
non-admin account, but if you tried to set up a schedule from a
non-admin account it asked for an admin name and password and then
rejected them. This was fixed in a later version.

It caused grief for quite a few of us, who wondered if we had mistyped
the password, or what was happening.
