Wrong! Speaking figuratively! Really, sit down and logically explain how
stupid she is - win her over with facts, figures and a little common sense.
If she still can't be persuaded then you should at least seek alternative
employment because THAT boss & co. are only going to go spiralling
dooooooooooooown.

We have a custom app that constantly triggers UAV - we can't seem to
prevent it from doing so. Therefore disabling UAC is the best option.
Stop being a jackass and start answering questions instead of second
guessing. Seriously, next time somebody asks you for directions, tell
them why they shouldn't go there. See how they react.

So it's been written in a slack manner because it needs administrator access
to run?
