When your Windows Vista asks for a UAC (User access control) permission, like the bellow image,

UAC Asking for permission

it darkens the screen to temporarily turn off the Windows Vista Aero interface… The UAC prompt is no longer under transparent Aero…

Where as it may look like this,

UAC Promt Dialog BOX with Aero Interface

Why this happens ?? Why UAC promt dialog BOX is not shown with Aero Interface ??

When you carry out any task which is in need for UAC permission, for security reasons, when Windows vista asks for the UAC conformation, it separates the UAC prompt dialog box from your running desktop…. The UAC dialog box runs under a secure mode desktop, so that any malware which may or is running under the regular Aero enable desktop, cant access the UAC to authorize any action….

Many refer to this as a problem with Windows Vista where as this is a feature of Vista….

Can I also get the UAC promt dialog Box under Aero desktop interface ??

Yes it is possible to have that under Aero Interface… How ever do note, by doing this you may be putting your system under security threat….
