I suspect it is the User Account Control. UAC is in place so that the user can take note of exactly program is wanting to run to ensure that no malware tries to run without their knowledge. If they are completely wised up on their system security and do not go to any dubious websites nor open any dubious files then you can go to Control Panel and choose a lower level of UAC, or if they really know their stuff can turn it off completely, but to be honest I would set it to 33% else let the risk be theirs.
