We’ve all been there.  We’ve all been doing our normal day’s work when we’ve been interrupted by our great friend, the vista User Account Control system.  Despite the fact that I’m a domain admin, I must confirm that yes indeed, I did want to move that file.  Then I must confirm that I did confirm that I wanted to move that file.  Then I must confirm that I am aware that by moving the file, I am taking it from one place and putting it in a different directory.  A minute and several mouse clicks later, I have succeeded in moving my .mp3 to the music directory.  Although the UAC has caused me much grief in my life, I’m certain that there must be something good about it.  After a little research, I found a great article explaining both the good and the bad of our little friend.  Anyone running Vista or server 2008 needs to read this.
