Disabling User Access Control Print E-mail
One of the features introduced in Microsoft’s Vista is User Access Control. This displays a message every time you install a new program or make a change to your system settings.

In order to apply the fix you will need to run the command prompt in administration mode as follows:

1. Select start button > All Programs > Accessories

Then right click on Command Prompt and select ‘Run as administrator’

2. When the command prompt window is displayed paste the following line : C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

3. Now reboot your computer. The UAC warnings will no longer be displayed.

To re-enable UAC warning simply paste the following on the command prompt :

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Warning

The purpose of UAC is to reduce the possibility of lower-privilege applications communicating with higher-privilege ones, another new technology, User Interface Privilege Isolation is used in conjunction with User Account Control to isolate these processes from each other. Disabling this could result in applications installing other applications onto your computer without your knowledge.
