I do NOT need to approve opening up CCleaner, and shouldnt have to see a UAC pop up about it either. especially not after ive set CCleaner to run as admin, and the list of useless needless warnings go on and on. Instead, i have personally taken to using TweakUAC. it leaves UAC on and functional, but for the normal day to day stuff i dont ever see UAC anymore and thats how it OUGHT to be. Microsoft could learn something from that.... A lot of us dont have it disabled per se, but use something to silence it so we dont have to put up with all the not-so-legit pop-up warnings.
