One needs to be aware that gadgets have historically in Vista been an item that could "break out" of their boundaries and be a risk. A past Black hat (or it could have been DefCon, I forget) hada session on this. When dealing with third party code that you can't ensure the quality of the code, leaving UAC on is very wise.

Yes this issue has been mentioned several times about Gadgets and UAC. Thank you for the direct link. ~Alex T.~Windows Desktop Experience MVP~
