UAC behaves different on one PC
For one PC, (doesn't matter who logs into it), the UAC prompt that people get when they run an application that requires admin privileges, defaults to the user's own credentials. All other PCs prompt you to enter admin credentials. I checked all of the UAC policies in the Local Security Policy and they are identical to other PCs that don't do this. Any ideas?

As I mentioned in my original question, it doesn't matter who logs into this PC. This problem isn't specific to the user account.
defaults to the user's own credentials.<< is this the owner of the PC?
Was the system installed with this user as the default administrator account?
Sounds like someone has messed with UAC is that possible?
Or changed some setings with an application > Mark an application to always run elevated
