UAC Questions

OK, but just to be clear, your example is not relevant to the OP's desires.
The whole point of UAC isn't to say "OK" to potentially bad programs, it's
to notify you that *something* or *someone* wants to launch the program.

The point is UAC isn't limited to challenging what programs you want
to launch. It can nag about EVERYTHING including things it NEVER
should challenge. That's why people that know better are ALWAYS
critical of Microsoft for imposing this crap on the unwashed masses of
users that do not need to know and do not want to learn how concepts
like file ownership and granting access via permissions works.

What always sets off the fanboy crowd is pointing out how lame UAC is.
One of the best examples is pointing out UAC is so utterly stupid it
can end up challenging deleting a desktop shortcut that's orphaned.
That's about as stupid a DESIGN FLAW as giving CPR to some mummy is a
museum thinking you'll bring it back to life after being mummified for
thousands of years. Yes Microsoft does dumb things like this
constantly.

One reason for all the animosity in this newsgroup is a small hard
core group of Microsoft faithful can't bare to hear anything critical
about Windows regardless how accurate it is and being perpetual
Microsoft worshipers they attack anyone presenting facts that show
Microsoft in a negative light more out of a reflex action than
actually thinking how stupid they come across in trying to defend the
undefendable.
