Do yourself a big favour and turn off UAC in the control panel as well, it will drive you mad. It's probably better to leave it on for the normal user accounts though... not that they should have the rights to be doing anything that would trigger the prompt anyway. Now they're in the same workgroup, if you turn on the various media-related services and sharing, all the windows boxes will automatically pick up each other's music, film and TV libraries via zeroconf/DNLA - they should be able to connect to any Xboxes, smart TVs and so on you might have as well. It's pretty cool (it can be done in linux as well, obviously - I'm just saying). If you want good interoperability with your linux boxes, install Cygwin X on all your windows instances. You'll get bash, ssh client and server and all the tools to do remote X from your linux machines, plus a standard set of GNU userland utilities. First thing I install on any windows, invaluable.
