For various reasons I turned off UAC.
Is there a way I can prevent that bubble in the lower right from warning
me constantly?

The UAC, as you realize, is utterly useless.
The concept of a warning is admirable. However the Vista UAC is simply a
blind prompt that gives no information about any potential threat and merely
pops up as result of user actions. Its aim is to make the user feel
responsible if something goes awry rather than blame the lazy ass
programming that goes into Windows.
Win7/Vista SP3 does not have the knee jerk UAC of Vista. Alas Win7/Vista SP3
retains, as far as I can see and have read, all the lazy ass programming
that makes Windows unnecessarily vulnerable to the evil a-holes of the
world.
The OS itself, whether Windows/Apple/Linux is rapidly becoming irrelevant in
a browser based, cloud computing world.
IBM may have the last laugh as it pushes a Linux based cloud computing model
to companies fed up with tithing Microsoft's endless and valueless upgrade
cycles.

Replace the OS with LInux. It worked for me.

Five Misunderstood Features in Windows Vista
¡E User Account Control
¡E Image management
¡E Display Driver Model
¡E Search
¡E 64 bit architecture
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

The User Access Control (UAC) can detect rootkits before they install.
AV-Test.org carried on a test of common AV applications to find out how
good they detected rootkits. The examiner had to turn off UAC because it
detected every rootkit used in the test.

Avoiding Rootkit Infection.
"The rules to avoid rootkit infection are for the most part the same as
avoiding any malware infection however there are some special
considerations:
Because rootkits meddle with the operating system itself they *require*
full Administrator rights to install. Hence infection can be avoided by
running Windows from an account with *lesser* privileges" (LUA in XP and
UAC in Vista).

You should understand the reason why UAC is there. You should read about
the two access tokens for user/admin on Vista, and yes, if UAC is disabled,
then Run As Administrator is disabled too.

Now, listen to the experts and be guided accordingly!

Good luck

Most users with a brain don't like the constant nagging of UAC.
As good as the idea may be, the implementation is so poor as to render it
useless.

The only reason it worked for you is you are too stupid to figure out Vista
so if you need to use something, you have to fall back on that inferior OS
piece of **** designed by geeks for geeks who can't get laid. Linux.

Disabling UAC is not dangerious at all tbh. It is rather annoying an
unless your a 'newb' i suggest disabling it.

If you know what your doing on your computer the only thing you reall
need is a firewall and not an anti-virus

No fuss, no muss, no screeches about Linux or Apple, just the correct
answer.

HA HA HA HA - What a crock of ****. See, I told you, you were a ****ing
douche bag retard. The only thing linux will dominate in 10 years is the
trash can. 99% of technology will pass your sorry ass and you will be out
in the street.

You should get a book, "Vista for Retards" study real hard and maybe in 2
years, you just might be able to navigate past the desktop. What a sorry
sack of **** you are. Ubuntu is up your alley. Stick with OpenSores
software because that is all you can afford.
