Turning off UAC (User Access Control)

Posted by Jamsi in Windows Vista on May 19th, 2007 | no responses

So I scored a new laptop through work and wanted to give Vista a whirl. Step forward 30mins and I found something really, really, really annoying. Microsoft’s new Vista access control, which will prompt you ever time you make changes to the system, either via control panel or when you install new software.

Very annoying if you ask me; lucky there’s a quick fix.
1. Click on the Start Button and go to the Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel search box, search for “disable uac”.
3. Click on Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off.
4. Uncheck Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer.
5. Hit OK.

  1. Hit the Start Button and select Control Panel
  2. In the Control Panel, select User Accounts
  3. Then click on User Accounts again .. (I know, what the?)
  4. Select “Turn User Access Control on or off
  5. Untick the box and hit OK!

Whola!
