Besides the UAC slider in Control Panel, there are also the Local Security Policy settings. All of the UAC ones are at the bottom and in the explanations tell you the default setting. You may want to check those to see if any local or domain policy settings are interfering, if you haven't already done that.
Tangent warning: I've always been annoyed that using GP to try and control UAC doesn't stop someone from using the UAC Slider to change things. They apparently are completely independent of each other.
