There are many ways.

Right-click on shortcut, select 'Run As Administrator'
Change the shortcut properties to give the program administrator priviliges.

That's what I'm hoping too.
Everything basically seems to run fine.

Just those "VERY" annoying popups when you try to run things.
There should be an option to turn them off, but I haven't found it yet.

For me personally, it would take a lot more than that to force me to 
reinstall another OS! I think the whole security thing is going to take 
a while to shake down into a happy medium between secure and annoying in 
Vista.

Click the start button, type cmd, Vista will display cmd.exe above,
right-click and run as administrator.

I feel the same way. Strange thing is. I'm running Vista Business attached
to an AD domain. If the network administrator logs into the box, all the UAC
stuff is gone. No questions, it just does it.

How do you start a cmd window as administrator ?
I verified my account and I'm supposedly an administrator..

Pretty damn bad when you're an administrator and you can't even administrate
your own computer

Yup, I saved a file to the downloads folder, then started a CMD window as
Administrator and copied it with no UAC complaining at me.

I copied a file from my laptop and sent it via email to my vista ultimate
desktop this morning.
Then I went to save it in the qcharts directory so that I wouldn't have to
reenter all my trades.

It said" you do not have the rights to save in this directory, please choose
another"

If I had time, I think xp would be on the desktop real quick.

It's annoying but ... read the instructions people! It doesn't work like 
earlier versions of Windows!

40 million copies of Vista given away as part of MSDN licenses, bulk
Microsoft Select licenses, and pre-installed on machines. I wonder how many
people went out and *bought* Vista.

On the other hand, 346,794,077 million downloads of Firefox (citation:

Millions of people chose to download and install Ubuntu, Fedora and other

It's about choice.
