UAC good but annoying

Is there any way of disabling UAC for the administrator whilst still leaving it on for the rest of the world? When I have it on I get an annoying error message everytime I open Excel (something to do with adobe I think) also I have a database that saves the tables to an external hard drive every time I close the application but UAC stops this from happening.:confused:

Hi Keltic,

As Barman suggested you can change the UAC settings to Elevate without prompting, This will leave UAC enabled and auto-continue the prompts ;)

Thanks Barman58 and dmex - good advice. I'm at work at the moment using Windows XP but I will try out the 'Elevated Admin' when I get home.
