Windows Vista Tips: Disable User Access Control

Windows Vista introduced the User Access Control (UAC) feature to improve security for the end user, however if you are an experienced power-user it is quite likely that you find UAC extremely annoying.

Fortunately, disabling it is very straight forward (although I would not recommend doing this unless you are aware of the consequences).

First, load the MS config utility by typing “msconfig” in the run box (Press WINDOWS KEY + R to access this) then click OK:

Run

Once MSConfig is loaded, click on the Tools menu then select Disable UAC in the menu then click OK:

System Configuration

This will then run a script to disable UAC, which requires a restart to complete. If you wish to re-enable UAC, simply repeat the above steps but click Enable UAC instead.
