Every time i bring up my IE the UAC pops up with a request from my Registry Editor. it doesn't say why, just a request to continue. why is it doing this and is there any way i can get it to stop?

Believe this is part of the operation system to warn you, annoying but not bad..thing to caution you
UAC is designed to warn you about changes such as that, but such registry changes should not be triggered by IE. The first thing I would do is launch IE7, then go Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons. Select each entry and then Disable until they have all been turned off, then click OK. Exit IE and launch it again, seeing if you receive another alert. If you do, I'd run a quick antivirus/antispyware scan to make sure your system is clean. Then if it still continues I'd turn my attention to a faulty IE7 installation, which has been known to happen.
