This is a pretty common question we get regarding Windows Vista and we havent yet addressed it on our blog, so here is a full post for all you new users on how to turn off the User Account Control (UAC).

User Account Control is considered by many to be a very annoying feature in Vista. If you are new to Vista, UAC is the annoying prompt that you get whenever you try to do something. There are a few ways to disable this, but we will do it via the control panel.

  • Open the control panel
  • Click on “User Accounts and Family Safety”
  • Click on “User Accounts”
  • Click “Turn User Account Control on or off”
  • Uncheck the UAC option
  • Click “OK”
  • You will then be prompted for a reboot
Turn Off UAC
