<p>What you have there is called &#8216;User Account Control&#8217; and not only does it interfere with the more seasoned users&#8217; &#8216;Windows Experience&#8217; but it will make the lower end computer slow to a crawl.</p>
<div style="float: right; padding: 0px 0px 5px 5px;">
<div id="attachment_118" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 218px"><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.sean-barton.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/uac.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-118" title="User Account Control" src="http://www.sean-barton.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/uac.png" alt="Are you sure you Reeeeeealy want to do that?" width="208" height="155" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Are you sure you Reeeeeealy want to do that?</p></div>
</div>
<p>It&#8217;s incredibly easy to turn off and I was going to write a step by step as a how to but obviously someone else got there first! They detail four ways to do it:</p>
<ul>
<li>MSCONFIG</li>
<li>Registry Editor</li>
<li>Group Policy (gpedit)</li>
<li>Control Panel</li>
</ul>
<p>I used option 4, the control panel method. This is more preferable for me because I prefer for Windows to adjust it&#8217;s own behind the scenes files and even more of an obvious option if they provide a nice interface to do it with!</p>
<p>The site is: <a href="http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm" target="_blank">http://www.petri.co.il</a> however I have copied option 4 in to make it easier for you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open Control Panel</li>
<li>Click on one of the user accounts</li>
<li>Click on the &#8220;Go to the main User Account page&#8221; link</li>
<li>Click on the &#8220;Change security settings&#8221; link</li>
<li>Under &#8220;Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure&#8221; click to unselect the &#8220;Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer&#8221; and press OK</li>
<li>You will be prompted to reboot your computer and once restarted it will no longer bother you</li>
</ul>
<p>You can reverse the procedure by just re-checking the box and restarting again. I feel I should add that even though you have turned UAC itself off, you will not have turned off another small annoyance in the security bubble thing in the system tray. A small price to pay for a less irritating and slightly faster user experience.</p>
