And lose one of the benefits of using Vista in the first place. UAC is
configurable, you can customize how much it bugs you. Turning it off
completely is not a good idea though if one of the reasons you bought
Vista was for better security. After using Vista for a while UAC
becomes second nature and no longer annoys me.

I was merely giving the o/p the answer to his question.
I appreciate what UAC is for, and goodness me, how did I manage all these
years without it? Same way I've managed without Linux I suppose.

How do you configure it to ask once than remember for future starts.

The part that annoys me is having to ok it every time I start a
program, why can't we tell to ok and then it won't bug you in future.

Not sure you can. The bit that annoys me with it is UAC still bloody pops up
even when you're logged in as an administrator! I can see the point of it
with the more consumer oriented versions of Vista - but with Ultimate, which
is presumably aimed a bit higher, I do think if you have admin priveleges
then UAC should accept that you're supposed to know what you're doing and
don't need your hand holding every time you press a button.

It doesn't do that except for progs that need admin privileges. Go do some
research on UAC and learn how to cuntomize it. To make an app always use
admin level access just right click the shortcut and select properties and
then selsct advanced, check box for run as admin.
