User Account Control

Hi

As sole user of my Win Vista Home Basic system, I have turned off UAC. How
can I prevent system messages telling me I have turned off UAC every time I
boot up.

Also, although I am administrator, I have been unable to delete a folder
left after the uninstallation of a program. I am told I need permission,
from whom???

Hi Bonzodog,

I believe you are referring to the Security Center alert warning in the system tray. This will show you how to disable it so it will not bug you anymore.

RE: User Account Control

To prevent the security pop-up in the System Tray, right-click the red shield
(or Control Panel > 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, go to 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.
