Hi The purpose of User Account Control is more about protecting you from yourself rather than from others. Of course if you're installing a new program, you know the system will be changed. But if you open something like a word processor or email client, if UAC suddenly pops up, there may be something wrong with that program. It is definitely a personal choice whether to use it or not. When I hear the UAC tone, I just press alt+y to say ok. The only times it has been a hassle is on a computer where I'm using a Dectalk Express synthesizer. Occasionally, JAWS will tell me that the driver for the Dectalk Express can't be loaded. Then I have to press enter to dismiss the JAWS dialog and then alt+y to accept. Then switch back from Eloquence to the Dectalk express.

I believe it to be more of a nuisance than a security aid. If I really need to secure my computer I just lock it behind a password when I leave the room. Which I do when I get up to leave the room for any reason at all. However, for installation of programs sake, I don't really have confidence that UAC is going to be of any use because if anyone is working on my computer without authorization they will just click yes.
