| | Possible UAC Improvement If I use a virus scanner Ex: McAfee, Firewalls ( windows or otherwise) and malware detectors, These types of programs "remember" they have permission to run certain apps. In order to take advantage of what UAC was intended for without it being a "nag" it should actaully be capable of the same thing. Is It? or do we need to disable it like most posts suggest? |

Quote: > or do we need to disable it like most posts suggest? that generate UAC prompts they are BADLY WRITTEN and fail to comply with the XP programming guidelines (yes, I said XP, not Vista). The only exception is software which is designed to perform system administrative tasks, in which case you really should log on as an administrator anyway (and then you just get the confirmation prompt - a single mouse-click or left-arrow, Enter). If you are using day-to-day applications which generate UAC prompts it's probably time to update them. SteveT |
