Vista - Change default security setting?

I just bought my 1st Vista computer and actually like it better than I
thought that I would. One thing that is driving my nuts is how it keeps
asking for a confirmation for every little thing (it seems) i.e. "Did you
really tell this program to start? Click to continue..." (paraphrasing).
I'm sure there is a setting somewhere I can turn this off. Help please.

Thanks in advance... Bob

I thought it was a simple question. If you are telling me I need to go to
six seperate web addresses to find the answer (you don't SAY anything in the
reply) I think you are missing the point of what newsgroups are for.

This falls under User Account Control (UAC). This feature can be turned off,
however, it is not recommended. Learn more under Help & Support.

To turn off:

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User
Accounts -> Turn User Account Control On or Off.

Hope this helps.

Thanks PS, I appreciate it. Do you have an opinion on using this Tweak-UAC
to "have your cake and eat it too".

Bob,

I looked at it for the first time now and I don't think I'm going to bother
installing that. I really don't know anything about the credibility of the
source. It may be good but I'm going to leave mine on as recommended. Just
don't want to disturb the status quo.

Tweak-UAC is a simple program that allows you to turn UAC on or off and put
in silent mode
w/o editing the registry.... works well an is brain dead simple.
