Control Panel, User Accounts, Change User Account Control settings (if you haven't already found it).

Almost as soon as I had Windows 7 I went to download something innocuous (I forget what) and the site thought to itself, well of course he wants my download manager instead of the Microsoft one, and that means of course he wants somebody else's web browser, so was all set to re-configure half my system uninvited, but "ask me first" gave me a chance to stop it.

Biggest thing on 7 I had to get my head round, that I hadn't been told about: with the drive partitioned into C: and D:, dragging a file from one folder to another, both on the same letter, means "move"; dragging from a folder on C: to one on D:, or vice versa, means "copy".
