Does this pop up for ALL programs? It should not. But there are a number of programs that require elevated privileges to run (on top on installing). I set my UAC to the step below what you have shown (one step above OFF) and it pops up occasionally. I know the programs causing the pop up.

So unless it is ALL programs, then it is probably normal. .... Thinkpads_User

Program is outlook 2007
Try setting to one step lower. Outlook (Office) 2007, 2010 should all be fine. I use them. Try setting UAC to the setting one step above OFF.

If no luck, try an Office Repair. For Office 2007 (Outlook) go into Trust Center -> Privacy options and click on (select) the option to "Download a file periodically ..." . After that, run Office Diagnostics.

If still no luck, uninstall Office entirely, restart, re-install, add service packs and patch. Make sure you select Run as Adminstrator to do the install.

Are you hitting on a link in a folder redirected environment?
i.e. outlook link is in the quick launch or on the desktop?
The link is seen as remote in this case and that is likely why you get prompted.
basemkhawaja64--If nothing else works, try right clicking on the file outlook.exe|Properties|Security tab and see what permissions you have.  Adjust if necessary.  
Or at the bottom of the right click outlook.exe|Properties|Compatibility tab is a box for "Run as Administrator".  If this is checked UNcheck it.
No offense intended... Have you restarted the computer since changing the setting?
basemkhawaja64, did you resolve this issue? What was the solution?
no the problem still exist every time i open any program when i have the UAC set to level 2 or three i still get the pop up do i want to allow this very annoying how can i stop this at level 2 or three it is not suppose to notify by definition of that feature   can some one help me   Thanks

basemkhawaja64--Forgive me if this is a repeat of a suggestion already made.  Right click on outlook.exe and click "Run as adminstrator".  Do you still get the UAC screen?
It is not clear which of the suggestions made earlier you have tried.  If you need to change permissions for outlook (or any program) look here

You may have to live with the UAC popup.  It takes only one more click to get rid of it.
