You can do so by starting the processes as normal users. These are known UI issues that are documented in the release notes. I have documented replacement user interfaces that are compatible with the Vista UAC on my web site http://www.secure-endpoints.com/openafs-windows-roadmap.html The work to implement the necessary changes is in need of funding.
