off topic but there are several excellent reasons to have UAC off.
One is that the the backup registry utility ERNDT can run at startup - without USC flagging it as an unkown prorgram.
ditto for running peerblock at windows startup.
ditto for pinnacle game profiler.
NB there is no way to ""train " UAC to quit asking the same question every time you use a safe 3rd party utility, so when it does like like one of the above, or does not like e.g. JKdefrag ( another excellent freeware utility) you have to manually confirm EVERY time you want use the utility, or write complex auto-schedule script workarounds.
I have encountered zero weird problems - UAC is an OPTION so those who enjoy being nannied by microsoft can leave it on, those who don't can disable it.
back to on-topic, I suspect that UAC does not have calibre on its approved list as it is expensive and difficult to get microsoft to sign an installer for you.
