Vista: The (Annoying) User Account Control One of the new security feature in Windows Vista is called the User Account Control (UAC) security, where each time you are trying to run a program comes a pop-up message “A program needs your permission to continue”. This can be quite annoying for some, although it does pop up less frequently once all your applications are installed and fully operational. But if you still not happy with this, here’s how to disable it: Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on or off. Uncheck the default UAC. Then restart Windows. Please note that Microsoft highly recommend that you do not do this. |
