So far, all of the responses to this question are telling us how to do something
we all know how to do, turn off the UAC. But I agree with MLS, the UAC needs to start
learning what programs are used all the time and to stop prompting responses for
those programs, something along the lines of Zone Lab's firewall--where you can give
a program permission until that program changes, would be nice.
Is there anyone out there who has figured a way to make the UAC more 'user' friendly?
