...knowing all this, how does it get fixed?  What is the proper way for MS
to enforce UAC?


They need to put a version of UAC in place that will alert the user when a
process is trying to make a change that weakens the overall security posture
of the box.  They need *only* alert the user when this change is with
malicious intent.  They need to elimiate all false positives.  Good luck
with that.
