Have a user claiming that most users will be disabling UAC, so here is the poll to see.

Initially, I had it turned off as most people have done when they first encounter it I suppose. I know they intentionally made it annoying so that more developers would make safer software. After reading a lot on how it protects you quite well, I started using it. I find that it actually isn't that annoying or nagging as most people think. I hardly even notice it getting in the way any more and I find the extra layer of protection more comforting.

I set it to the elevated privilege level so I don't have to ok when I install software.

I use it as configured. Doesn't bother me, and I like the protection. Been that way since I started using Vista Beta.

I'm sorry to say I turn it off, I have all my important stuff backed up on a external drive and if some thing bad does happen I will just reinstall if if comes to that. That is not say that I should not have it on because I know that it is allot safer but I am just lazy and I don't like it asking me every time I want to something.

i use mine as it comes, it can be a pain but if im being honest, in 20 years time im not gonna look back & worry about the few seconds i spent with the UAC....

Ditto

Security is what you make it or want it to be

As a Linux user I very quickly accepted giving in a root password everytime I wanted to change something. Answering a yes/no question from UAC is definately no problem for me.

Do you lock the house door on the way out??

I just leave it as it is. It has its uses.

That's why I use a one digit password in Linux

I just use TweakUAC. A few extra clicks isn't going to kill me. My mouse button maybe, but not me
