Windows UAC Shield On My Program
I am running the release version of Windows 7 from MSDN.I installed a .net program. Someone else wrote it so I have no control over changing anything in it, but I might be able to get information to the developer.The program has the UAC Shield on it. None of the settings in it are set that would normally cause that setting. When I run the program I get this message:Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer?What kinds of things would an application do that would cause that? I am an admin on this computer already. I tried changing all the rights for my user on the folder and that didn't help. I even tried modifying the app.exe.config file with a trustinfo section and that didn't work.Any idead?

When UAC at its lowest setting did the same for me on each start of Windows Media Player which is Microsoft's own software, I turned UAC off.
For protection, if you do not have it, Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/security/products/mse.aspx is free replacement from MS for any AntiVirus. It runs well because it is written by by the company that wrote the OS, which is the way it always should have been.

Regarding that there is a UAC shield on the program and when running it, a prompt appears, this is alsorelated to how the program is designed.
And I would like to share the following with you:

That is a very helpful link. Thank you. I will have to get with the guy who wrote the application and see if he can figure out what he is doing that is causing Windows to think his app needs elevation.
