You can 'right-click' on the Icon and set 'Run as Administrator' (if you haven't already done this).  Then you only have that annoyance once instead of every time you run a program.

Thanks! That also solves some crashing issues. Vista didn't like Portal after 12 puzzled. I ran both the Steam login and the actual application as Administrator and it worked. =) Not sure about the screws. I forgot that there was a plastic spacer that wouldn't work with the new screws so I wasn't able to get it into the board. However it's VERY sturdy with just three so I left it like that.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Sweet. :)
I'm probably gonna build my own computer when I has time, as well.
But I doubt it will be as sweet as this rig sounds :P

Thanks! =) Even with all the vista extras like sidebar gadgets and translucent effects it's still VERY fast. =)
