Turning Off UAC & Little Red Shield

Okay, The information on how to turn off the UAC was of great help. Could
anyone Please tell me how to get rid of the Red Sheild that keeps reminding
me that UAC is off?
Thank You

RE: Turning Off UAC & Little Red Shield


To prevent the security pop-up in the System Tray, right-click the red
shield (or Control Panel > Classic View > Security Center) and click 'Change
the way Security Center......' then choose 'Don't notify me and
don't........'.

You don’t have to turn UAC off, you can stop the prompt without UAC losing
its security strengths, in Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium click the
Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin to 0 (zero) from 2.

Re: Turning Off UAC & Little Red Shield

Go to the Control Panel > Security Center > In the left pane, click "Change
the way Security Center alerts me". You can display the icon only, or to
completely remove it, click "Don't notify me and don't display the icon (not
recommended)".
