    Enabled. I like the extra security. Although the poll options are slightly confusing so I'm just clicking yes and assuming it means enabled.

    I've found one app that does this, HD Tune. What I did for it was created Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt as seen here Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create Then added the shortcut E:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /tn HDTune to Local Machine Run in registry
    Thanks Greg for the directions and the heads up on HD Tune, haven't tried running on 7 yet.

    One more bit on UAC behavior: can't right click on blank spot of the Task Bar to bring up context menu for split screen - TM and the rest. Never saw complaints on this; anyone else with this particular issue?

    As long as you are constantly aware of what you are doing, you should be ok, but I would disagree with your complaint of slowing you down though...how long does it take to click on a button.... a second or two.... just my thoughts...

    If you make a decision to do something on YOUR computer , do you want something
    asking you if it is OK ???

    Nope, but I do want it to ask if its OK for a program to do something.

    Its a line of defense against viruses and whatnot. I don't go around telling people to keep their UAC on or anything, personally its their choice to have that extra line of defense.

    As for slowing you down, maybe by half a second? The only time I even 'realize' UAC is being annoying is when I read threads like these. Then they are not annoying a few hours later. My brain is funny like that. :)

    Ya, I agree, going around telling people what to do is rude.

    Got UAC enable but one notch down from the default setting because i don't want that black faded (all screen windows) pop-up as well as the admin control!

    It does helps a lot!:)
