Vista has a number of security features that help protect the user for malicious programs. UAC (user access control) is a great feature built into Vista. UAC alerts you whenever a program requires administrative access to the computer. The confirmation screen can get annoying sometimes and if you decide that you can’t live with it I will show you how to disable UAC in Vista.
Let’s turn off UAC, first thing we need to do is go to the Control Panel. (Start > Control Panel)
1. Now that we are in the Control Panel select ‘User Accounts and Family Safety’
2. Now click on ‘User Accounts’
3. Select ‘Turn User Control On or Off’
4. Ironically you will be asked to confirm this action.
5. We can now disable UAC, do that by unchecking the box.
6. Click OK, now you will be asked to restart your computer.
On your Taskbar you will now see a warning icon and if you double click it you will see UAC is now turned off and Windows is reminding you what a bad person you are.
