Even though this new feature can help you prevent messing up your PCs, it is becoming an annoyance introduced in Windows Vista. UAC always asks for administrative rights to run some programs and it’s sometimes irritating.
User Account Control is the feature introduced in Windows Vista to control user behaviour and program behaviour for multiple user systems. Hence for any program that requires administrative rights, UAC asks for permission. The program is only allowed to run after getting administrator permission. The advantage for UAC is that spy ware / virus programs cannot install itself and access admin settings or services. Thus preventing any harm to your computer.
