<offtopic>And you are probably the same people that complain about windows security. UAC is actually very helpful against malware/viruses, and really after you install your software, there is no reason to have it off. I hardly ever have to hit a continue on my home machines (except if there is an update to the software). Now at work its disabled because it severely slows me down having to hit continue every time I want to open a MMC console of some sort. It doesnt require a password, but its better than nothing (and if it required a password everytime even more people would turn it off). </offtopic>
