[QUOTE="Dreamworks_naveen, post: 3418888, member: 49393"] Are you tired of those User Account Control (UAC) prompts that appear whenever you're trying to run some admin tool on your Vista computer? They appear even if you're user account is a member of the Administrators group on your machine. That's because Protected Admins (PAs) normally run with the privileges of a standard user on Vista, which means to perform some administrative task or use an admin tool you have to first elevate your privileges to admin level, which is what the UAC prompt is designed to do. Well, UAC is there for a reason--if your computer got infected by some malware and this malware tried to run an admin tool, the UAC prompt would appear to warn you that someone (you? Malware?) is trying to run a tool designed only for administrators. And a UAC prompt when you don't expect it would be a sure sign that something's gotten into your machine's innards. Still, some users (especially sysadmins) are likely to find these UAC prompts annoying at best, so here's how to disable UAC on your machine: 1. Open Administrative Tools in Control Panel 2. Double-click on System Configuration 3. Click Continue to accept the UAC prompt 4. Select the Tools tab 5. Scroll down and select Disable UAC 6. Click Launch 7. Reboot your machine Note that you may not be able to disable UAC if Group Policy configured for enforcing UAC on your computers. Note: This tip is based on a pre-release version of Windows Vista and may not reflect functionality in the final product. [/QUOTE]
