Do I need to turn UAC off on Windows 7, for Poker Stars hands to be saved?

My HeM working fine for Full Tilt but, Poker Stars doesnt save any hand histories.( C:\Program Files\Poker Stars\HandHistory folder is empty)

is there any other way to save hand histories from Poker Stars?
is it fine to turn UAC off for Windows 7?

The default PokerStars handhistory directory no longer is C:\Program Files\Poker Stars\HandHistory.

It now saves them in Users/[your main user]/AppData (which is a hidden folder)/Local/PokerStars/Handhistory


Please do turn off UAC.... and make sure you can view hidden files and folders

I have changed the directory but it didnt save any hand histories untill I turned UAC off. turning it off didnt look good to me but I guess it isnt important?

UAC is turned off by default on XP , it's turned on to the MAX on Vista,... (that's the main reason why most people HATE Vista)
I'm not sure what the default setting is on Windows 7, but either turn if off...., or

manually make sure holdemmanager.exe, hmhud.exe, and dbcontrolpanel.exe,
pokerstars.exe, postgres are started as administrator. And Windows Defender/Windows Firewall, your antivirus program, don't mess with the PokerStars, HoldemManager and PostgreSQL folders.
