Is there a way to make UAC to stop asking me for permission for a
shortcut/program that's been run once with my authorization and set run
as administrator (e.g., games)?

Well, this is what I have done to try to skip these annoying dialogs. I
realise this may negate some of the protection that MS seems to think I
need.

I may add, I know next to nothing about computer security other than running
a firewall and virus scanner etc. (this may be obvious from the following :)

From MS site :

http://technet2.microsoft.com/Windo...8514-4c9e-ac08-4c21f5c6c2d91033.mspx?mfr=true

So all I did was run secpol.msc, select Local Policies->Security Options.
Scrolled down to User Account: Behavior of the elevation prompt for
Administrators in Admin Approval Mode, changed to Elevate without Prompting.

Now I do know, that this is defeating the whole point, *but*, since MS don't
allow any other way for an Administrator to indicate that 'YES I do know
this program and want you to remember that!', I will not put up with the
constant nagging.

Don't make recommendations for something that you obviously don't know
about.
