This question is linked to this one.
How does notebook drivers, which shows information about key combinations on screen, start without asking administrator privileges and under UAC? How it is possible?

Drivers typically run in kernel mode, and so are not subject to UAC. Even drivers that run in user mode are not subject to UAC. Only desktop applications are subject to UAC.
