disable UAC for "show processes for all users"
Hi, something l would like to do is disable UAC (user account control)
for a subset of options in Vista. For instance, I'm always selecting
"Show processes for all users" on the Windows Task Manager, so it's
annoying for me to have it enabled here. However, UAC is useful enough
of a safety net that I wouldn't want to completely disable it. (It has
saved me a couple times already from malware).

Does anybody know how to disable UAC in a limited number of instances
like this? If not, do you know if Microsoft has any plans to implement
a feature or option like this in future versions? For instance, where
it says, "Windows needs your permission to continue" if there was a
checkbox, "Don't show this again" that would be perfect!

It amazes me that it doesn't have this feature to begin with. It's
like they never even used their OS before releasing it on the world...

Re: disable UAC for "show processes for all users"
There are possibly 3rd party tools to do this but nothing in Windows
or from Microsoft.

UAC has evolved a lot since the Beta and probably will continue.

The problem can be if UAC is disabled for a particular area, one line
of protection for malware is also disabled for that feature as well as
possibly other peripheral areas.
I doubt if we will see something like "Don't show this again" because
that opens a big hole for malware to exploit.
Once the hole is opened, some vandal somewhere will find a reason and
way to exploit.
Only time will tell what is coming with UAC.
Search Google.

UAC explained and a little utility to help control it.

The rest are good information sources.
