That pathetic thing called "Windows security" is getting to me. It is
close to impossible to create a "user", and once created, this user will
not be capable of actually doing anything.

Very flexible, very granular permissions system result in making it
impossible for someone, us in this case, to find out whether we are
over-priveleged.

Well meaning, but horrible system, with even more horrible results.
