I don't hate UAC, its ok as long as is treated as one of the measure to make user secure,but is it 100% protection?, I dont have gr8 knowledge about Windows like you guys here,but going bit off the topic, I feel the "Green Progress Bar" in each window [Might be doing some file indexing] is more annoying than UAC, UAC atleast we can tweak and turn it off..but its really painful when I plug my USB loaded with images and wait and wait, just to see the thumbnail preview and all images getting load..pain
..wish to see more improvement in such small small things in Win7
