If you are logged in as the machines administrator account, turning UAC off turns it off for that machine, not users

Frank: But I don't get the logic of this. I'm logged in as the admin, if I go to "change user account control settings", I changed it to "never notify". But that only helps for the admin, right? When I'm logged in as the user, I seem to be unable to change the UAC settings -- click on the option and nothing happens. Karen you will need to do one of 2 things... turn off user account level control, or add the domain user under the local administrator group. I prefer turning off user account level control, it is annoying at best and if you have good domain group policies in place it is unnecessary. On order to turn it off Log back in as the administrator on that machine or domain and turn off UAC as follows 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. In Control Panel, click User Accounts. 3. In the User Accounts window, click User Accounts. 4. In the User Accounts tasks window, click Turn User Account Control off. This should clear up your issue. I had the same thing on our Win7 machines and it went away as soon as I turned UAC off. _______________________________________________________________________ This Email has been scanned for all viruses by PAETEC Email Scanning Services, utilizing MessageLabs proprietary SkyScan infrastructure.
