What in God's name were Microsoft thinking by omitting this most obvious bit of code. The basics of system interface design tell you that you should design your interface to handhold users initially and then allow them to automate and disable prompts as they become more competent - this is exactly what the ZoneAlarm firewall does for example. How ironic that you can't check a box to remember to run crap cleaner without prompting where as IE7 lets you check a box to remember the login and password details to your freakin bank account! MS need to wise up to this and fast - UAC is a good idea in principle but if security is a pain in the ass - people will switch it off - sure as eggs man. MS just can't help themselves can they - give 'em a loaded shotgun and two feet and they'll blow a hole in each one. You nailed it with the comment about the ‘remember my decision’ option.
