Re: How to take screen shot of UAC pop-up?

If you configure UAC to not switch to the secure desktop, you'll be able to
take a screenshot of the UAC prompt.

Run Secpol.msc as administrator, expand Local Policies, Security Options,
policy "User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting
for elevation", set to "Disabled".

I'd recommend you revert the changes after you've taken the screenshots.
