Hi MegaDETH,
Thank you, and your welcome. I enjoy writing these tutorials so that they can help people understand and use their computer. When I started on computers there was no help like this available then. You either sank or swimmed as the saying goes.
The UAC can be a bit of a pain while setting up Vista, but once you have it up and going it is not so bad. UAC is designed to help you protect your computer by asking you for your permission first before anything can run that wants to use Administrator rights, and have complete run of your computer if granted. If UAC is off, then everything will have full run of your computer when it wants it. Think of it as the last line of defense.
In my opinion it is worth it to have it on. It can save you from a piece of malware taking control or damaging your data. Plus, it gives you a chance to cancel running something if you changed your mind or bumped it by mistake.
It would have been nice for this to have worked. Well, it didn't on my computer.
Having an exception list built into UAC for programs that you know are safe and cannot be used to backdoor your system would of helped.
It is up to you since it is your computer. You can read this for more information on UAC to help with your decision.
