Yes, UAC was disabled.
I found the solution, although it's probably only a workaround the problem:
I changed the userconfig.py file, and disabled saving to the .spyder.ini
file like this:
def __save(self):
"""
Save config into the associated .ini file
"""
#this part of the script causes problems so let's try to save
nothing at all
#conf_file = file(self.filename(),'w')
#self.write(conf_file)
#conf_file.close()
pass
Now, I can shut down spyder and open again without problems. And it even
looks like the import sitecustomize fails error is gone.
