Why would running "Remote Desktops" require UAC approval?

There is nothing that you can break on "your" machine when running this tool.

Please remove this "feature" in the next Service Pack as it is not really a security issue.

Please advise if I am mistaken.

Remote Desktop doesn't require elevation here.

Try running %systemroot%\system32\mstsc.exe directly, does that request
elevation?

Not remote desktop, Remote Desktop"S" that comes in adminpak.msi.

I use this for the connect to console option, as some apps and patches will hang as a RD session instead of a console session.
