<\/p>\nUAC is a security feature in Windows Vista that is designed to make sure you want to do certain tasks. UAC requires permission to perform all of the following tasks:

\n\u2022\tInstalling and uninstalling applications
\n\u2022\tInstalling device drivers
\n\u2022\tInstalling ActiveX controls
\n\u2022\tChanging settings for Windows Firewall
\n\u2022\tChanging UAC settings
\n\u2022\tConfiguring Windows Update
\n\u2022\tAdding or removing user accounts
\n\u2022\tChanging a user\u2019s account type
\n\u2022\tConfiguring Parental Controls
\n\u2022\tRunning Task Scheduler
\n\u2022\tRestoring backed-up system files
\n\u2022\tViewing or changing another user\u2019s folders and files
\nMany users have asked if and how they can disable this from prompting them every time they want to do these tasks. This tutorial will walk you through disabling it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To start you will want to click on the Start orb and type msconfig into the box for it to find what you are looking for (alternatively if you use the classic start menu, click on run and type msconfig and press enter).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The above window will appear. This is the configuration setting for a lot of Windows components and features. We will not want to click on the tools tab to open the section with our UAC settings.<\/p>\n

The above window will appear to let you know that is has completed successfully or give you any error it may have encountered. That is all there is to it. As you may have noticed, there is also an option to Enable UAC which will allow you to turn it back on if you decide you would like to.
