Call me strange, but I kind of like the UAC concept for the most part and don't really care to shut it completely off. That said, Is there anything like the windows firewall exception list to have it ignore the starting of programs that are already installed? For instance, I have Rivatuner in my startup folder and would like to put RealTemp in there, but especially while Vista is booting I don't want to have to deal with the elevated dialogs to allow the programs to run. Then of course there are the few progs like cpu-z, gpu-z and ATiTool that I use less often, but still don't want to have to approve them. I assume the reason these particular progs need approval is because they get into the hardware level of things where malware could do more damage, but geez, really? I gave the okay to install them, I would have thought that's enough.
