Have a read of this article regarding UAC, and how to use it.
cannot set UAC to automatically run a program as an administrator without
the user being prompted.
In Windows Vista, some programs only run correctly if you run them as an
administrator. You may be able to run newer versions of the same programs
without having to run them as an administrator.
Note A security risk may result by using administrative credentials to run
an unknown program. Only run programs that you trust as an administrator.
Important These steps may increase your security risk. These steps may also
make the computer or the network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users
or by malicious software such as viruses. We recommend the process that this
article describes to enable programs to operate as they are designed to or to
implement specific program capabilities. Before you make these changes, we
recommend that you evaluate the risks that are associated with implementing
this process in your particular environment. If you decide to implement this
process, take any appropriate additional steps to help protect the system. We
recommend that you use this process only if you really require this process.
To run a program as an administrator, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click Run
as administrator.
2. When you are prompted for an administrator password or for a
confirmation, type the administrator password, or click Continue.
For some program icons, the Run as administrator option is not available on
the shortcut menu. For these program icons, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click
Properties. On the Shortcut tab, the Target box contains the location and the
name of the program file.
2. Open the folder that contains the program file.
3. Right-click the program file, and then click Run as administrator. If
you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type
the password, or click Continue.
If you must run a program as an administrator, you may want to set up the
program so that you automatically run it as an administrator. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click
Properties.
2. On the Compatibility tab, click to select the Run this program as an
administrator check box, and then click OK.
The Compatibility tab is not available for some program icons. For these
program icons, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click
Properties. On the Shortcut tab, the Target box contains the location and the
name of the program file.
2. Open the folder that contains the program file.
3. Right-click the program file, and then click Properties.

Is there some way of telling UAC "this is a good program" - so that it doeds.
not ask every time - the HIPS like apps, with which I am familiar, learn on
the job - ie they have a remember this decision and dont ask again check
box (AnVir, Spybot, Comodo, Online Armor to name a few).
