Or you could leave it where it is and switch the UAC off if you're confident enough around computers to do that...

The UAC is over nannying IMO, mine is off and always has been since Vista. I'm on W7 Ultimate 64 bit also..

You will get the doom mongers saying it's not safe to switch it off...it is!!

You do need to make sure you know what you're doing, have adequate firewalls, anti Virus and anti spyware. If you have all that and know how to use it properly, switching the UAC off isn't an issue..

Injustice will be avenged.
