Vista - How do I disable the Security Center notice about my UAC being off

Every single time I log in to Windows, that bloody little pop-up comes in the
notification area saying that my UAC is off and that this is a horrible
problem.
I know it's off. I turned it off. Why the hell would I be unaware of that?

So my question is, how do I stop that annoying notice coming up every single
time I start Windows?

You could try this...

Hello, to turn off notification : Control Panel > Classic view > Security Centre, left side panel, click "change the way Security Centre alerts me " > click " don't notify me, but display the icon " ( PLEASE, do not select the last alternative ). You won't see the pop-up again, just a little icon inside the notification area. Satisfied ?

Why shouldn't I choose the last option, t-4-2? Seems like the one I'd want.

Hello, Your "beef" is with UAC, not the entire security system of your computer, i.e. windows defender, windows firewall, internet options etc. You shut off the notifications from the entire system, you will not know if windows defender and or firewall has been turned off or not.( You are NOT the only one that can turn them off.)
In short, you are putting out a welcome mat to all viruses etc.
" Security Centre can alert you when your computer might be at risk by displaying a
notification ----" , that's you will see if you click open the Security Centre .
Picking the last option, it's your funeral.

For your information and consideration
The best defenses are:
1. Do not work in elevated level; Day-to-day work should be
performed while the User Account Control (UAC) is enabled. Turning
off UAC reduces the security of your computer and may expose you to
increased risk from malicious software.
2. Familiarize yourself with "Services Hardening in Windows Vista".
3. Keep your operating (OS) system (and all software on it)
updated/patched.
4. Reconsider the usage of IE.
5. Review your installed 3rd party software applications/utilities;
Remove clutter.
6. Don't expose services to public networks.
7. Activate the build-in firewall and tack together its advanced
configuration settings.
7a.If on high-speed internet use a router as well.
8. Routinely practice safe-hex.
9. Regularly back-up data/files.
10.Familiarize yourself with crash recovery tools and with
re-installing your operating system (OS).
11.Utilize a real-time anti-virus application and vital system
monitoring utilities/applications.
12.Keep abreast of the latest developments - Sh!t happens...you know.

The least preferred defenses are:
Myriads of popular anti-whatever applications and staying ignorant.

Peez of pith, really :-)

If I were you I'd go ahead and choose it. You've killed IE protective mode
when you turned of UAC, so you might as well turn off everything else.

I do all of that,
but I'm not an idiot that needs UAC asking for confirmation every time I do
something. My anti-virus & anti-spyware software blocks anything bad that
comes through, which is hardly ever.

I also don't use IE, because it's just as bad as UAC, needing confirmation
for everything, telling you it's so horrible that you've got pop-up blocker
and the phishing tool off.

MS really needs to reconsider the level of security they force on everyone
who has Windows. Because not everyone is a first time user who has no idea
what they're doing. All this security does is piss off the regular users.

What exactly are you doing on a regular basis that needs confirmation?

Other than the usual annoyances when working with executables, UAC comes up
every single time I log into Windows asking me about my network login tool,
Clean Access, stopping my computer from loading any further.

The fact of the matter is, that so many people aren't beginners, we know
what we're doing, and we've already got enough protection, as well as common
sense, in place to stop anything from attacking the computer. Google
'annoying UAC', and you'll get 193,000 cases of people pissed off at it. So
I'm not alone.
