Correct about UAC, but it is not ex actually preventing the write to
"Program Files", writes are intercepted and written to the Virtual Store
instead. When attempts are made to read files in "Program Files" the
ones in the Virtual Store take precedent.
Same thing for writes to the registry which are redirected to the
"Virtual Registry".
Programmers often wish to write to "Program Files" to make changes for
all users at the same time.
This is NOT possible as the "Virtual Store" and the "Virtual Registry"
are on a per user basis.
"C:\Users\Nani-Lassen\AppData\Local\VirtualStore"
"C:\Users\Nani\AppData\Local\VirtualStore"
Are examples on my computers with the Peak indicating an administer
account which the normal users do not have.

That is a working link to UAC from what I wrote back in Vista days.
