When I start rxvt.exe, the Windows 7 'User Account Control' dialog appears
asking for confirmation to allow the rxvt.exe to make changes to my system.
Is there something I can do (file permissions, possibly) to prevent this
from happening, other than changing the system-wide default for the User
Account Control prompt/dialog?  

This behavior doesn't occur when using the Cygwin 1.5 rxvt.exe application.

Here are the command line arguments I use to start rxvt (in 1.5 && 1.7.1 of
cygwin)

C:\cygwin171\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 9999 -geometry 90x45 +vb -fg black -bg ivory
-fn "Courier" -e /usr/bin/bash --login
