Korupt Data Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 How to Disable the User Account Control on windows vista Windows Vista has the built-in ability to automatically reduce the potential of security breeches in the system. It does that by automatically enabling a feature called User Account Control (or UAC for short). The UAC forces users that are part of the local administrators group to run like they were regular users with no administrative privileges, Although UAC clearly improves the security on Windows Vista, under some scenarios you might want to disable it. (For those who do not understand what all that means, i am talking about those little annoying box's that come up every time you want to open anything) Here's how Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAC" Click on that line of text. Now click launch, and a CMD window will pop up, wait for it to finish then you can close it. Now close msconfig and reboot your pc, there you go those annoying windows are now gone. If you ever want to turn UAC back on just redo all of this but click enable UAC and launch it and reboot. *Note* there are many ways to do this, but i found this the easiest. -I am not responsible for anything you may mess up while doing this- ~KD
