UAC Prompting for things it's not supposed to

Vista UAC is prompting me when I am trying to delete or move some files. It
never used to and doesn’t do this for all files. This is so frustrating and
annoying. The most of my troubles are with files on my external hard drive.
Especially with video files. Every file I try to delete or move I get a
prompt, what is going on here?

Why some files and not others? Why did i never use to have this problem?
How can I fix this?

Is the "quiet" mode of UAC less secure?

Or you can just cut out the middleman by
setting the Registry directly:
