[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 978516"] As far as I know, it enables UAC for the build-in administrator (which Vista had), meaning that processes run Medium Integrity Rights (like a Standard User), but when doing tasks requiring higher rights (admin rights) it will confirm to UAC settings of admin (by default showing UAC prompt). At that time (Vista) it was good practice to enable it. Windows 7 had the build-in admin account disabled by default. [/QUOTE]
