Well check again. I have just done it. Remove my sip phone from the XP
SP2 firewall. Started the program as limited user. It pops up a

unblock it. No way to change that without being administrator.

on the NT based O/S ARE running with admen rights?

As far as I am concerned, your point is moot about the Limited user as opposed the Admin user rights and some kind of example that you're trying to show here, that I don't care about.
