Hi, I go to Control Panel->User Accounts and then click the Change security settings.As far as I understand, in Vista beta2 UAC is on by default and that is what the group policy and my usage indicate because it prompts for permission whenever I do certain actions. But the checkbox for the "Use UAC to protect your computer" would be unchecked if you take a look. Also if I change the settings and then click "ok", it seems to persist the settings even if I don't choose restart and press cancel in the prompt dialog. I would prefer a "restart later" instead of cancel if settings were to persist.
Thanks, Vipin

Probable UAC bug
UAC is on by default. The checkbox was checked on mine.
