That's what I mentioned about disabling mandatory integrity control, but you are indeed correct - it directly affects apps like IE and Google Chrome (and many others, but those are the most obvious).

I've had a handful of situations where UAC popped up and i told it no. Most often though, it's an application that I launched that I knew would throw it...like Acronis True Image when I make a backup. In these cases, while an annoyance, it's only for like 1 second while I click on Ok, and I have my mouse snap to the dialog box so I'm already in position.
I've never personally found UAC to be that annoying and I just click the links. I probably only see these popups a couple of times a week.
Does UAC mangle the imaging process? If you answer it "NO", it won't block a program in the future if you need it to run?
UAC has nothing to do with imaging, because you have to run sysprep as an administrator. Imaging itself is done offline, so no impact there.
I just meant that I knew that clicking on Acronis to take an image would throw the UAC prompt up into my face to click on ok.
SourceUser Account Control (UAC) was probably the first new feature of Windows Vista that most users encountered, and received considerable attention when the OS was released. UAC gives a way for users to act as computer administrators just for administrator tasks. This is important to only allow software that requires elevated rights to run with such powerful (and potentially dangerous) rights. Over time, UAC prompts have diminished, especially with the release of Windows 7. But it's clear malware authors really hate UAC.
