All other applications are supposed to fade to black while this dialog is open. Maybe a picture of the whole screen would be helpful, too? --84.178.81.141 17:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Only if that screenshot was possible to take. It took me a while to figure out how to take a screenshot of just the prompt. — Alex ^(T|C|E) 01:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

In order to take a screenshot of the Secure Desktop, you'd have to have Vista running on an emulated machine, through Virtual PC, QEMU, VMWare, or a similar program. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 03:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

UAC requires you to enter the password? It must seriously be almost impossible to use a Vista PC with an amin password set. I hadn't noticed this as I haven't set one.

UAC has two distinct modes. When you're running as administrator it still blocks access to most critical features and you have the options [Continue] and [Cancel]. When running as limited user, however, you need to provide a password for an account with administrator privileges. As for me I'm using Vista since February 2007 as a limited user with administrator password set and I only see the UAC screen maybe once a day or so (You probably see them most in the first two or three days of setting up your system and afterwards this should be reduced to very little occurrences, if any at all [depending what you do on a regular basis]). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joey-das-WBF (talk • contribs) 23:24, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
