Well that was Microsoft's choice not to allow the user to choose what it
complains about. Frankly having it nag me every time I want to add, move,
rename or change something on the start menu is a pain. Microsoft could have
been a little more intelligent about things like this and allow the user to
choose the level that they wanted for UAC, but no they had to do an all or
nothing like Microsoft typically does and that is highjack ones computer
doing whatever they see fit even when it isn't right. The extra security is
nice but I hardly consider a new program group on the start menu a security
threat.
