I guess this is another area that will have to be carefully explained to the Win32 user as
a consequence of not allowing Administrator to run initdb/postmaster.

I still don't see whats wrong with running as Administrator as long as TCPIP comms is
not enabled. It should be possible to restrict connection only from the local PC if running
as Administrator. This should not pose any security threat, should it?

Cheers,
Gary.
