I have turned on and off Vista's User Account Control many times.
When I installed AIM, and had the issue where you need to have UAC on during install or else you lose your network connectivity status, the only cure I found was to enter a command line entree: basically, it added local users to the Administrators group. This was cited as a security hole by many sites, so I removed Local users from this group. I then turned UAC on, uninstalled and reinstaleld AIM, and everything was fine.
But now, I have User Account Control turned on. However, I never get the pop up dialog whenever I do something administrator-like. For example, I can open command prompt, type something in, and it won't work. When I right click the icon, click Run As Administrator, I don't get a prompt, command line just opens.
How do I fix this?
