Click to expand...

you can simply do it by going to Start menu and click on the user icon on top of the menu.

Click on Turn off user account control on or off.

Select that click continue in UAC and remove the tick in the next window and click ok and reboot.

Hello,

You cannot easily do it programmatically (ie there is no API because that would defeat the point of it)

Here are some ways of doing this: Ways to Disable or Turn Off User Account (Access) Control (UAC) in Windows Vista Tip and Trick

Probably the best way would be to utilise an installers elevation or place a requestedElevationLevel tag in the program's Manifest file, though this is very much frowned upon in Vista and 7. I don't know why you want to completely disable it like this, far better to just get permission for that one program execution. Also, running those methods in the link above will require UAC consent, for example reg.exe will not run without UAC consent and there is nothing you can do about that. Basically, don't try to disable the UAC, let it stay there and just request elevation permission.

turn it into a batch file

but with that, the uac might ask you to let the batchfile open.

Lol, its so complicated to turn it off through a program, which is THE exact reason why microsoft made UAC (viruses cant disable uac that easily either).

But there is a way.

Hello,

That method is outlined in the link I sent, reg.exe will require UAC acceptance, and doing this through a program (mainly a C language) is actually very easy. Go to a SubKey and SetValue giving Name (EnableLUA), Type (DWORD) and Value (0). However, any program writing into HKLM instantly requires admin privileges (which writing into HKCU does not) and if it does not get these admin privileges and there is no proper exception handling, it will crash (stopped working) with a System.Security.SecurityException.
