Which is more secure regards to the UAC Elevation prompt?
And which one should I select for the Admin account?
Prompt for Credentials on the Secure Desktop or Prompt for Credentials?

During development testing for Windows 7 MS said they had never seen any malware manage to penetrate the secure desktop.
Additionally, whilst there are several hacking methods that claim to be able to get through to elevated permissions [without any admin prompt being seen] while the user is simply logged in with an admin account they all rely on UAC not being at its maximum setting.
- There was one about three years ago that claimed to be able to do this despite UAC being at full but it seemed to have been circumvented by a subsequent Windows update and its actions could not then be replicated.
