This is not a recommendation but the first thing I did on my Windows 7 installs is turn off UAC. It's not nearly the pain in the butt that it is/was in Vista but it still drives me nuts. I do this because I OCD on imaging my system and feel that if anything goes wrong I can recover from it in a matter of minutes. For less that around $80, anyone can buy an external drive and there are several free imaging tools out there (Windows 7 has a free tool already installed) that will allow recovery from any software problem in a short amount of time. I hate the prospect of going through a reinstall of everything. I am retired and would rather waste my time doing something else.
