Oh, well, yes. Then you get what UAC does. That was kind of my point. I 
mean, people were complaining that UAC asks for a password for every 
process that need root privs. I was just wondering why this isn't a good 
thing.

Yep. To each his own. :-) I already had to reinstall OpenSuSE 11 twice 
due to it doing f'ed up things I couldn't figure out how to undo. Like, 
taking the "start button" off the "task bar", or screwing up the package 
management system so that attempts to update crash out.

(BTW, I *hate* the new package update thingie in SuSE 11. Confusing as 
hell, and doesn't work nice at all.  Warp talks about rearranging menus 
- how about an "accept" button that doesn't actually install the listed 
updates until you push another button that reveals the magic button that 
says "Yes, this is what I want to accept". Sheesh.)
