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|Sec urity tab and see what permissions you have. Adjust if necessary.
Or at the bottom of the right click outlook.exe|Properties|Com patibility tab is a box for "Run as Administrator". If this is checked UNcheck it.
Or at the bottom of the right click outlook.exe|Properties|Com
No offense intended... Have you restarted the computer since changing the setting?
basemkhawaja64, did you resolve this issue? What was the solution?

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.
