[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1079890"] The whole UAC is flawed from top to bottom. Average users have no idea why an application would need permission to write to this file system or that, even if you spell it out for them in a prompt it's all "Greek" to them. Initiation is the closest to understanding most user will have of this, such as "did I execute a file that caused this prompt" if so it must be safe so an "always click yes" will follow. If they did not or it's a warning that jolts them from their task at hand a no may be followed but understanding will still not take place. Even if simplified and a warning system were in place upon execution that executing this application will mean making changes to the file system do you agree or not, will not matter, all that matters to the end user at that point is installing an app they may want to use. No amount of information pushed forward will help average users, they don't understand or don't care to understand, they just want to use their computer. [/QUOTE]
