    Are You Tired of UAC and Folder Permissions?

    What you do is reformat your hard drive. Create your account. When Vista loads click start in the search bar type cmd the right click cmd and click run as adminstrator. then in the cmd prompt type this Net user administrator /active:yes. Once you do that it activates the Hidden Administrator account on Vista. Log off your current account. log into the hidden administrator account. delete the account you made by going to Users in the control panel.

    Once you do this you can change the name of the Administrator account on your Vista OS.

    This fixes the UAC and keeps it from coming up every time you install something. It also cancels out the file permissions as well. so that way you can do anything you want with your computer.

    You are 100% correct and I thank you for the information.

    However, to those who feel that they do not have the knowledge or the willpower to stay out of trouble, I suggest that you use the hidden adminitrator only in emergency.

    I, truly feel that I can stay out of trouble, but I preferred to be warned when I am about to make a change that can create problems. I can very easily be distracted by other facets of living, and make a change without thinking.

    Yes, you've earned it! Rep+

    PS Will your suggestion work in Windows 7 too?

    I would have to agree with richc46, better safe than sorry.
    Of course, if you are confident you wont make an error, and want to use it, then this is an ideal method and thank you for that.
    Its people like you, sharing information, that makes this forum work, thanks again.
