If I treated my car like I do my computer, yes. I recompiled my shell three times today, which requires changing your active shell twice per build (as windows really doesn't like it when you modify the active shell), and UAC goes crazy if you try to change your shell. It's a great idea for protecting normal users, but UAC being annoying is in no way a sign you're doing something you shouldn't.
