How To: Disable UAC
February 20th, 2007 by SysAdmin
Microsoft Windows Vista comes with a built in security feature called the UAC (User Account Control).
In this tutorial I will show how to disable the User Account Control. I strongly recommend that you leave it enabled, as the UAC was designed to protect Windows Vista from malicious software and reduces the risk of a potential security threat.
To disable UAC:
Click Start (Windows Orb)
Click Control Panel
In Control Panel, click User Accounts And Family Safety
Click User Accounts
Click Turn User Account Control on or off
Clear the Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box and then click Ok
Windows will Prompt you to restart your computer
Restart for the new settings to take effect
