    It sounds like you are still running in admin approval mode. Go to:
    Administrative tools > Local Policies > Security Options.
    Scroll down to User Account Control and make sure that
    'Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode' is disabled.

    Thank you it was enabled, I have disable it but after reboot pop up still exists.

    Regards

    Edit: It appears this is only happening on certain directories 1 is windows 8 install drive ex D:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu (clean up). I do wish M$ would start to treat us like we have a bit of knowledge w/r to the dos and start with no constraints and allow us to impose them instead of the massive other way they appear to be going. Ones that need these restrictions will most likely not see the first boot screen.

    I haven't got that folder, just the Start Menu folder.
    Have you tried taking ownership of the folder and files ?

    For to see ProgramData Folder you'll need to have show Hidden Files and Folders enabled.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    Yes, I know. The folder I haven't got in the ProgramData tree is 'Start Menu (cleanup)'.

    The folder is "D:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" Sorry for the confusion I put (cleanup) in brackets because I was cleaning up the directory grouping internet, windows, hardware, multimedia programs etc. in folders.

    Yes I have taken ownership .... another long drawn out process to access your drives.

    I can move the Start Menu folder from the ProgramData tree onto the Desktop with no admin messages so I
    don't know why you are seeing them. Sorry.

    And I this mourning. I really only carried out your second post and then checked (only) drive to ensure ownership. I did reboot but something just clicked in this mourning.

    Useful and thank you

    Disable running in admin approval mode. Go to:
    Administrative tools and open Local Security Policies
    Local Policies> Security Options.
    Scroll down to User Account Control and make sure that 'Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode' is disabled.

    And for those without signed drives that is not just a pop up now.

    Disable driver signature enforcement or Enable low-resolution video mode in Windows 8 RTM (Works with 64-bit)

    Select Settings (right bar)/Change PC Settings (at bottom)
    Then go General/Advanced Startup/Restart Now/Troubleshoot/Advanced Options/Windows Startup Settings/Restart
    As your PC is starting up be pressing F8 to get to the menu where you can choose to
    Disable driver signature enforcement or Enable low-resolution video mode or Enable safe mode.

    Regards
