I couldn't tell you, not any one thing obviously, but I get the UAC =
prompts=20
all the time. I do change the display settings quite a lot and that =
brings=20
up the prompt.

Those count too, here's where UAC could make a big improvement by =
having an=20
always trust setting for an application. (run elevated doesn't always =
work)
For now I turn UAC off after an initial round of testing each build. =
(I=20
haven't installed 5365 yet)
