How To Stop UAC Annoyances In Windows Vista

Whenever we try to edit the Registry, we often face warning questions like "Are you sure you know what you’re doing?" Vista’s User Account Control (UAC) often fails to tell users why a given act is considered dangerous. Vista’s designers are virtually forced people to click through a UAC prompt to set the clock or start a manual backup. As a result, people get irritated and start ignoring UAC, removing any protection it might provide. Here we provide 3 ways to stop UAC annoyances:

1) Just turn it off : This fix works well in an administrator account but it makes the standard accounts unusable. Select Start•Control Panel•User Accounts, and click Turn User Account Control on or off. Select Continue at the UAC prompt, and on the next screen, uncheck Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer. Click OK and reboot.

2) Use tweakUAC: This utility is free and it can turn off UAC for administrator accounts while leaving it on for everyone else. Run the program, select UAC to the quiet mode, and click OK.

3) Fine-tune the UAC settings: This tactic works in Vista Business or Ultimate. Select Start, type secpol.msc, and press . In the left pane, navigate to the Security Settings\Local Policy\ Security Options folder. In the right pane, scroll to the bottom for nine ways to control UAC’s behaviour.
