Okay okay okay so I finally managed to get rid of my UAC issues. My problem was that I had a lot of music files associated and even trying to open them launched a MM UAC. I did what most of us did and ran the program as administrator. Didn't work so I then removed the 're-associate files' clause BUT I forgot to take the run as administrator clause again SOOOOO in the end,
1) Make sure you are not running as administrator (for WIN8 make sure BOTH administrator boxes are unchecked: properties > compatibility > run this program as an administrator AND properties > shortcut > advanced > run as administrator)
2) Uncheck and make sure your MM is not re-associating files at the start (MM > Tools > Options > OS Integration > re-associate file types on start-up)
This should take care of the problem, since nothing else did for me (and I tried like everything suggested on every thread out there including shortcuts disguised as scheduled tasks with the highest level of access, command prompt scripts designed for other programs with this issue and installing and uninstalling in every combo possible -.-)
