Vista - Vista Pop ups

01-08-2008

It seems that every time you try and do something in Vista, it pops up some
warning. It is very tiresome to alwyas see these warnings. Why is the
system set up for real novices. most people have been using computers for
over 20 years. How do we turn this feature off.

Hi Rich,

Here are a couple of options for you to get rid of the UAC prompt.

and

This is a developers tool that will allow you to selectively enable programs
to bypass the UAC prompt. Recommended for Vista Business, Enterprise and
Ultimate.

How to disable the User Account Control Prompt for certain applications:

There's a way to actually turn off the beep and darkened
screen that comes with secure desktop. it's a registry hack.
You still have to grant it perms to run.

I wouldn't turn off UAC. In fact, I wouldn't even hack
the registry, since the secure desktop actually prevents
apps from bypassing the approval mode.

After you use the computer for a while, the
number of times it does anything like that
seems to lessen.

Malware writers have been using the computer for 20
years or more too. For me, it simply isn't worth the risk.

I repeat. You can stop the prompts without UAC losing its security
strengths!
