OK, so you're saying that malware that attempted to set up such a task would
itself trigger the UAC prompt?

That makes sense. I hope you are right and that there aren't any
workarounds. I'm one of the few people on the planet who actually
appreciates UAC. I'm only too pleased that Vista warns me when something
with security implications is about to happen.
