How do you install software without administrator rights?

Linux

[quote]There is a reason why this isn't allowed. The company could be held liable for copyright infringement laws if they allowed 'pirated software' to be installed on company owned machines. Corporations have site licenses certain software applications.

You could submit your request in writing to the IT people - best guess is that they will deny your request.

or you could try to get it in .zip (compressed folder) i have done this many times it works great.[/quote]

What his person is trying to say is... they completely avoided the question and offered no solution. Well... to answer your question... there are many ways too install programs on a computer without admin. You can make files zip by right clicking and "save link as" when you do that you can put ".zip" at the end of it so you can unzip the program. You can also use another operating system to be able to install programs. You can also restart the computer, keep hitting F8 until you see a screenw ith a bunch of different options... now select "safe mode" and login... you can create an account via: control panel> users or user accounts. there you can create a user and alter user settings. However there are some systems that have a very good control over what is done to the computers. for a strong system i would suggest a Linux boot drive (preferably usb). Hope this helped in your big adventures :P
