Hey guys. Like many of you, I've changed my account settings around, moving admin privileges to a seperate account and giving my regular use account standard priviledges. Better to be safe than sorry.

I've since been getting popups from certain applications, asking for admin priviledges before starting up. I got one from iphoto, which I filled in, not quite sure what to make of it, and just now I got one from Adobe Acrobat. I can't imagine there being anything malicious about it, but can someone tell me why acrobat, and some other applications, want my admin password on launch?
