turning off UAC

When I go to User Accounts I don't have the "Change Security Settings"
option. I have all Admin. rights, so is there a setting I need to sctivate in
order to see this option?
Please respond to me at "pana101@comcast.net" and thanks very much.

To turn UAC off:

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click User Accounts and Family Safety
Click User Accounts
Click Change Security Settings
Uncheck the checkbox
Click OK

Here's also a way:

You NEED to be an Administrator to do this.

1) Open Control Panel to Classic view.
2) Click on User Accounts icon.
3) This will open a dialog titled "Make Changes to Your User Account".
At the very bottom, there will be a selection to "Turn User Account
Control on or off". Double-click on it.
4) This will take you to a screen with "Turn User Account Control on
or off" in the Address Bar.
5) Uncheck "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your
computer".

You will be prompted to either restart immediately, or later. UAC
will not be turned on or off until you restart your machine.
