Not if you run subinacl and disable uac (or set it on quiet mode) - I do both on all systems.

I've never disabled UAC. the concept of not running as an administrator was a long time coming, and with previous releases was the main cause of malware infections. (you don't run Linux desktops as Root, so why does explorer run with admin privileges by default on XP and prior?
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

Shhh... We don't need to be putting ideas in peoples heads. That leaves an inexperienced user very vulnerable to malware and other junk.

You don't need to disable it. Just run it in silent mode - which is actually what I do. And I agree - I always warn others to NEVER disable UAC
