Administrator privileges in Windows Vista

"The trick here is that 'administrator privileges' is not the same as the Administrator account. You might notice that you can't copy and paste between a command prompt running as an administrator while you can if you run it under your own account.

You should be able to suppress warnings by logging in as Administrator, but then you're running everything as Administrator, including 'programs' that shouldn't have unrestricted, uninterruptable access to system functions.

Alternatively, I believe you can set some programs to always run as Administrator when launched. It's not comprehensive, but if you're just trying to avoid clicking through the UAC prompt every time you start up Visual Studio, that would be the way to go."
