Disabling User Account Control (UAC)

User account control is a new feature within Vista that forces you to allow or deny access to administrative features within the operating system, and while this may sound good, it can be very annoying.

Start by going into the Control Panel and select 'User Accounts and Family Safety'.

Next, select 'User Accounts'.

At the bottom of the list displayed under the 'Make changes to your user account' section, select 'Turn User Account Control on or off'.

A (very annoying) dialog should appear asking for permission to continue. Select 'Continue'. Deselect the 'Use User Account Control (UAC)to help protect your computer' check box.

Now restart your computer.

No more annoying messages!
