Same for me-  there is just one program that gets UAC.  It does not write to 
registry or program files.  It does have Start in the name, but thats not 
it - because if renamed it still gets UAC prompt.   It does however copy 
programs from a download folder into a working folder, so I agree with 
whoever said Vista looks at some heuristics inside the program - does anyone 
have a specific link for reading more?  (Haven't found specific programmers 
guide yet)
