Any of them, though I usually change the resolution depending on how my
eyes are doing at the time, and if it doesn't prompt any more, good, that's
one of the areas where I hoped it would get better.  It's silly to count it
as an admin task to begin with, but it was up until the last build I have
installed.

The biggest one I have is iSeries Access/400.

   What display settings are you changing for which you are prompted?   I
just confirmed there is no prompt for changing resolution, color depth, or
refresh rate.

   What non-admin applications are you running that prompt you to elevate?
As I mentioned, the handling of apps that inappropriately require admin
access, but aren't performing admin actions, is not by elevating.

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

  Those count too, here's where UAC could make a big improvement by having
an
  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
  haven't installed 5365 yet)

     What administrator tasks do you perform commonly?  Are you instead
  referring to poorly written applications that don't work when you are not
an
  administrator?  That is handled differently from actual administrator
  actions.  I am curious, if so, which bad apps do you run?  If you mean
  administrator tasks, which are you performing commonly?

    They're far to common now, but I expect things will get better.
