Why does Windows Vista ask me for permission to run TrueCrypt every time I run it in raveler mode?

When you run TrueCrypt in traveler mode, TrueCrypt needs to load and start the TrueCrypt device driver. TrueCrypt needs a device driver to provide transparent on-the-fly encryption/decryption, and users without administrator privileges cannot start device drivers in Windows. Therefore, Windows Vista asks you for permission to run TrueCrypt with administrator privileges. Note that if you install TrueCrypt on the system (as opposed to running TrueCrypt in traveler mode), you will not be asked for permission every time you run TrueCrypt.
