Besides being extremely annoying, a malicous program could potentially put hundreds of malicious administrative programs in these locations, creating an endless series of prompts for you to deal with, creating a denial-of-service scenario. However, it is also inconvenient to be prompted by UAC every time you startup your computer or log on for each elevated program in the startup program list.
