It works by prompting you for permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings that affect other users. Open User Accounts by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking User Accounts and Family Safety (or clicking User Accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking User Accounts. Click Turn User Account Control on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Select the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box to turn on UAC, or clear the check box to turn off UAC, and then click OK.

In short no. This feature does exactly what Phantom said. It prevents access until you say yes. If you went into UAC and selected Never, then all it's doing is turning this feature off, and will never ask you again. Other than that, it doesn't touch any files, oor make any changes to programs. This feature can be useful in a home environment, but is a big pain in the ass administering at work. When I build machines at work, we always turn this off.
