Disabling UAC (User Account Control)

One of the biggest bothers in Windows Vista and 7 has to be User Account Control (UAC).  Sure it was designed to help prevent unauthorized changes from being made to your computer by getting permission from a Administrator (most likely you) before carrying out whatever the intended change is supposed to be - and that's a good thing, but it can be very irritating when you find yourself constantly having to say "Yes I want the following changes to be made...blah blag blah"

So how do we remedy this nuisance?

  1. Go the the Control Panel
  2. Click on User Accounts
  3. Click on Change User Account Control Settings
  4. Move the slider to your desired "bug me" level or you can turn it off completely
NB: This DOES NOT make any major difference in your PC security level
