Because there may have been other details that are pertinent that you failed
to supply.
Your boss obviously is talking out of his a*rse and has no idea what he's
doing.

Gordon is an obnoxious ass who seems to like to put on a Nanny uniform
now and then and prance around in it.

Running Vista Ultimate - I was ordered to disable UAC. Now I have the
little red shield in the tray. How can I get rid of it for just the UAC
notification? I still want it to bark at me when the virus defs (AVG)
go out of date and it can't update for whatever reason.

My boss.
Can I just get an answer to the question?

How would you like it if you asked for direction and the person asked
you why you wanted to go there?

Nevertheless he is my boss and I have my orders.
So should I wait for one of the MVPs to respond or are you going to
grace me with your words of wisdom some more?

Gotcha about Gordy.

I set it to the middle one, "Don't notify me, but display the icon."

Now I still want it to bark if the virus definitions aren't updated.
I'm pretty sure AVG does, but a few times over the years I have notices
it just goes from the color tray icon to the black and white - something
people around here won't notice and alert me.

Was the answer to the OP's question supposed to be in there somewhere?
Could you quote the relevent parts here?

Your boss should educate himself (or herself) about UAC.

There doesn't seem to be any way to do what you want to do via the user
interface. Maybe there is a registry hack, but I don't know yet.

There is no easy answer, you can only get close. The order listed
I listed the sites are as close to relevance as I could get them.

Sometimes there just are not simple answers to simple questions.
