UAC (Score 0, Offtopic)

Whether or not UAC is a copy of sudo, it certainly has the potential to improve security across Windows user base which is a good thing and better than nothing.

Anyhow if you are writing .NET applications, here's how to decorate application buttons etc. with the Vista UAC shield to indicate elevate-required actions since there doesn't seem to be any documentation on how to do this from within .NET: http://www.buildingsecurecode.com/2007/04/03/progr ammatically-displaying-the-windows-user-account-co ntrol-uac-elevated-shield-icon-in-net-windows-form -application-buttons/

Thanks,

Kevin
