Symptom
Trying to delete a versioned element in the ClearCase Explorer on Windows Vista results in the following error when User Account Control (UAC) is enabled:

Cause
This is caused by a local security policy setting on Windows Vista.

- Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
- Expand Local Policies and click Security Options (as shown in the image below.)
- Scroll down on the right side of the window and double-click the option User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode.
