That's why there are still so many Gadu-Gadu users in Poland ;)

I usually use almost the same algorithm in my NSIS installers:
   - current user, if !user.IsAdmin
   - ask user whether to install for current user or for all users, with 
all users as default, if user.IsAdmin

BTW: Mircea, did You know that Windows NT line supports uninstall 
information in both HKLM and HKCU registry hives? This may be used for 
storing information whether application was installed for current user 
(=> uninstall must look for application shortcut in current user's 
startup folder) or for all users (=> uninstall must look for application 
shortcut in all users' startup folder).
