First Things Last: Turning Off User Account Control (UAC) Update
by
Guy Thomas
In my last article I challenged readers to research Vista's new features and give each a dollar value. One matter arising was the UAC. Many of us find it annoying when the UAC box asks us to confirm all administrative changes. Craig, a MobilityGuru reader, kindly wrote in explaining a new way to disable the irritating UAC in Vista RC1.
Display Vista's Administrative Tools. Right click the Task Bar, Properties, Start Menu, Customize, Advanced, scroll to the bottom and find System Administration Tools, place the radio button next to 'Display on the All Programs menu'. From the Administrative Tools, find the Local Security Policy, then the Security Options folder.
User Account Control: Behaviour of the elevation prompt for administrators..... Set to: Elevate without prompting
User Account Control: Admin Approval mode for the Built-in Administrator Account. Set to: Disable
