Is there a way to prevent the "An unidentified program wants access to your

computer" box from coming up every time I open the same program?

Replace the program with a properly written one.

Configure the operating system to be (or replace it with) a properly written

one.

Yes, downgrade to an OS that allows malicious software to run without you

knowing about it.

Who said anything about downgrading (?)

There is really no way to do that with the exception being to turn off UAC,

which is unadvisable.

You can do that by right click the program icon and check "Always run

this program as administrator"

Typically if you right click ->run as admin. Windows should remember this next time and not prompt.

To disable UAC prompts (aka "Quiet Mode") NOT UAC.

Run Regedit and navigate to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

Change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin from "2" to "0".

Turn UAC off, it's implementation in Vista is pathetic and is being

redone in Windows 7.
