Hello DP members. I recently wrote an article about how UAC can be improved but it seems like a few people did not quite agree with me. I was just wondering what your views were. In case you were wondering these were the points I listed. It's quite long so I bolded the "points" and then expanded on them with a description. You can just read the points if you want. * Recognize Trends: If the same application or task is triggering UAC to send a prompt continuously, UAC should recognize this and provide the option for the user to allow or deny activity automatically in the future, or for that session. To avoid confusion, these options can be hidden until UAC recognizes that prompts are being repeatedly shown. They can also be enabled by default in the UAC settings panel. This allows advanced users to take control of UAC, and prevents regular users from mistakenly selecting an option. * Provide suggestions based on a “blacklist†like in Driver Protection: Microsoft is going to have work hard in making UAC seem “useful†again after tainting it with poor execution in the beginning. Part of “providing more relevant information†could involve some kind of alert or warning included in a UAC prompt, when the task or application is recognized as potentially harmful or dangerous. * Allow UAC customization per user group: One of UAC’s biggest flaws is that standard users are provided no freedom to perform the few administrative tasks that they still need to use such as installing specific programs. UAC could fix this by providing customizable “exceptions†or rules for each specific user or user group. A “trusted application or tasks†list could work too * Provide a Basic and Advanced UAC layout: Judging from how simple User Access Control settings are, Microsoft is probably trying to portray UAC as a simple yet effective security tool. The simplicity can be a downfall for IT admins while the complexity can be a downfall for normal users. Microsoft can provide advanced options for those who really need it.
