As a note, I added a second method, and made some minor reformatting changes.

I would like to see some verbiage on this page that indicates this
could be a bad idea. Remember, UAC is an important addition for some
(and not just an annoyance...).

This page, without a disclaimer, is similar to advising someone to use
rm -rf to remove files :)

If you don't like the new verbiage, edit to your liking.

On the basis that explanations tend to work better than bigger fonts,
I've added a couple of paragraphs of explanation and a link. See what
you think. :)

I do think that most users are going to bypass the first two
paragraphs, and just jump into Method 1 outlined above.
