No UAC Prompts & Desktop Gadgets
In that we are Beta testing Ultimate there are built-in controls for UAC you won't find in "lesser" versions. One is called "Elevate without prompting".
What this means is you can leave your UAC settings as they are now but not get popups whenever you do anything....which means you can have your Gadgets and (in appearance) not have UAC.
How to change the elevation prompt behavior for administrators
1. Click Start, click Accessories, click Run, type secpol.msc in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. From the Local Security Settings console tree, click Local Policies, and then Security Options.
3. Scroll down to and double-click User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators.
4. From the drop-down menu, select the following setting:
• Elevate without prompting (tasks requesting elevation will automatically run as elevated without prompting the administrator)
5. Click OK.
6. Close the Local Security Settings window.
It works (only in Ultimate)....but be very very careful about what you install after you change these settings.
