UAC is active anytime an action which involves sytem (kernel) files is
contemplated. There are four UAC dialogue boxes - they differ by the shield
and its background color each signifying escalating threats.
Users tend to ignore one of UAC's major protection schemes - that of
"Protected Mode". Mode on is designated at lower left of IE 7. Do some leg
work regarding the modes use of virtualized folders and system files
(including the registry) when downloading via the Internet.
Turning off UAC turns off ProtectedMode.

I'm not a Vista basher; generally I like it a great deal. However I find
UAC so intrusive that I've turned if off and take my chances.
Even more of a problem, some of the applications that I installed when it
was turned off now don't work properly if it turn it back on.

Did you expect otherwise? If so, you need to learn how Vista works.

have all the problems Ubuntu/Linux brings.
Great suggestion!
It's like telling someone to burn down their house because they have a
squeaky floor.

UAC has a purpose.
However, if you don't like it,
- Turn it off
- Turn off the notification warning you it isn't running.
End of issue.
Of all the things to complain about under Vista, UAC is something easily
turned off.

Yes, I did expect it to work otherwise, and quite reasonably so, I think.
I did a great deal of research and preparation before I upgraded to Vista.
I had my Vista express upgrade disk sitting on my desk for months before I
used it. Before I installed it I made sure that all the drivers and
software for my hardware had been upgraded and Vista compatible versions of
my software was available. That is the reason my upgrade went smoothly and
I don't post here often bitching and moaning about how this or that doesn't
work.
I read as much as I could about Vista features so I wouldn't be surprised by
its differences from XP. In particular I read about UAC. The comments I
read pertained to warnings that popped up during installation of programs so
often that many users would become desensitized to them and routinely click
through them, perhaps negating some of the value of the warnings. I figured
I could put up with that.
What I didn't realize was that a UAC window would be thrown up every time
that I opened some programs. Someone here said that that should only happen
with older applications, but that isn't true. All of the applications I've
installed are the latest, supposedly Vista-compatible versions and still I
see the warnings routinely with some of them.
An OS is so complicated in its features that studying it before installation
has its limits. Sometimes you have to live with a thing for a while before
understanding it, if only partly, and discovering its good features as well
as its warts.
What "average" user would have known, for example, from studying how Vista
works before using it, that if I installed Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD with
UAC off, that after turning UAC on all of my saved video clips and
projects - which took in total hundreds of hours to create - would disappear
from Womble's File and Projects window? Am I going to reinstall Womble with
UAC turned back on, and potentially loose access to the projects on which I
have been working for months, each projects with dozens of edits? Not a
chance.
See, your eyes are probably glazing over with boredom because my problems
aren't yours and therefore are less important to you. And maybe you are
feeling superior because you know how Vista works and I *don't.*
Perhaps you are inclined to make suggestions or offer a reassurance that
something can be done that will make everything OK. Fine, I hope to learn
something. But try to find a little humility before you toss off another
one-liner.

How to disable UAC prompts and retain UAC security:
Run Regedit and navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
Change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin from "2" to "0".
