UAC virtualised registry entrys in protected directorys so they only load when the particular app is running and only on the user account in question so they effectivly have.
Infact this is one of the major reasons for a UAC type system, there are parts of the registry etc which are not protected so they dont, apps should be using these if they dont want to generate a prompt.
he only real difference is that protected drive folders does not cover program files and so on unless the app only is installed for one user (Some apps like the blackberry desktop manager can be installed localy or globally.).
