Q

What is UAC?

A

UAC is the User Account Control in Windows 7 which adds security by ensuring that most Administrator group users run as standard users. This limits administrator-level access to the computer. Streamlining UAC in Win 7 reduces the number of operating system applications and tasks that require elevation of privileges. It also provides flexible prompt behavior for administrators, allowing standard users to do more and administrators to see fewer UAC elevation prompts.
