Some programs/apps want access to protected parts of the system so they need elevated.

didn't understand Mutex! << for which question?
Click to expand...
Thats for the first question.

UAC is to "Never Notify", so why do i need to elevate?
Click to expand...
It doesn't matter if you have UAC off you still need to have Administrative Privileges to use some programs properly.

1. Because the apps werw written poorly, or not written properly for the Vista/Windows 7 model. I haven't come across this myself, but I know it is common.
2. Technically, you aren't running as an admin all the time, even if your account is an admin. It is a new method of securing the system against unintended malware installs.

You should be able to open multiple instances of the same app, like Adobe Reader you mentioned.
