Even though you have local administrator rights, you are running all applications as a standard user. You still need to elevate the program at start up. If you connect to a network, and have network administrator rights, everything you run is in administrator mode.
The idea of UAC is to alert a regular user that a program is attempting to do something that needs administrative privileges. You've seen this all before, you've just experienced it first hand now.
