Disable User Account Control (UAC) in Windows Vista
Windows Vista is the most secure version of Windows that Microsoft has ever developed. User Account Control (UAC) is part of Vista’s new security feature that aims to reduce the exposure of the operating system by requiring that all users run in standard user mode. This limitation minimizes the ability for users to make changes that could destabilize their computers or inadvertently expose the network to viruses through undetected malware that has infected their computer.
When users encounter a system task that requires administrator privileges, such as attempting to install an application, Windows Vista will notify the user and require administrator authorization. The good thing about this is that it prevents users from messing up their PC and also helps eliminate the ability for malware to invoke administrator privileges without a user’s knowledge.
Even though User Account Control protects you, it can get really annoying sometimes.
Here is how you can turn off User Account Control:
Go to Control Panel > User Accounts and click the link for “Turn User Account Control on or off”
Uncheck the box and restart your computer to save the change. That’s it!
