I recommend turning UAC on for obvious security reasons. Applications should not be allowed admin rights. To turn on the warnings check the Security Centre. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.

| | Re: How do I turn off the "UAC is off" message Thanks Spirit, this is what I needed. The author on the website is quite correct. The popup is only effective if the user understands what they are responding to. And most users will hit allow anyway because they want the program to work. UAC doesn't really protect a computer from malicious code. It only shifts the decision to run from always happening to a user choice. And that choice is only as good as the user running the computer.
