You can turn UAC off, but maybe you ought to ask why these programs are
giving you the message in the first place. Are they Vista compatible?

Hi,

This occurs when the program tries to write to or alter a protected system
folder, such as those under \Windows or \Program Files. In Vista, a program
should be running virtually from the user appdata, but this does not occur
with older non-compliant software. In order to use it, you must acknowledge
allowing it access to the protected folders. This somewhat annoying process
has two functions, one being to make the user aware that a program wants
access to protected areas, and secondly to force software writers out of the
very bad habit of running programs from system folders (something that a)
invites corruption of system files and b) makes it easy for malware to get
ingrained into the system).

There is a process described here to work around this issue, it's not
something native to Vista:

There is no 'trusted list'. You need to use Vista compliant software,
because you will not get the prompt. Or you disable UAC to disable the
prompts, which is not recommended.

Better yet, nuke Vista and install a real operating system like Ubuntu.
Get it free at http://www.ubuntu.com/

You can't. You can turn off the feature (UAC) entirely or leave it
alone.

tried switching UAC off that solved it,
but wel well microsoft instantly started bugging me about a security error
it didnt like.
get rid of on anoyance and microsft replaces it with another.


Problem really solved now
1. format disk
2. install linux
3. install open office
4. install linux versions of the other programs vista didnt like

PC runs twice as fast now as it did under vista


discussed with technical director about changing the whole company off
microsft and onto linux 8400 users and over 500 servers.

retraining all users is less than 5% the cost of of implimenting new
microsoft versions as our main solution

GOODBYE microsoft you just lost a major client

When will you ever learn.
