Tutorial: Disable Vista's User Account Control (UAC)

[-::Mr.Dave::-]

For the users running Windows Vista, Do you get sick and tired of programs asking permission to run, Permission to copy files and install new programs. Well get annoyed no more as I tell you how to disable UAC

Step 1: Open the start menu and in the program box type "msconfig" and hit the enter key

Step 2: When the system configuration tool opens click tools.

Step 3: Scroll down to disable UAC

Step 4: Click Launch and this will disable Vista's annoying UAC

Step 5: Reboot your PC and never be bugged by programs asking permission again

IF you ever need to re-enable UAC just do as above but launch the re-enable UAC tool and then again reboot your computer

I hope this is of some help to our users who run Vista

Best Regards,

Indeed. If you disable Account Control then you really beat the whole point of Vista's increased security.
