Disable User Account Control in Windows Vista

Windows Vista came with a lot of new features and among those is one of the most amazing features of Windows Vista, i.e. every time it asked the user whether she/he has the "Administrator Rights" to run the program. This feature was good from security point of view but proved to be annoying for most of the users, because, whenever user had to run a program she/he had to click the "Allow" button on the popup window that asked for administrator's permission to run the program.

One of the best ways to stop windows vista from asking for administrator's rights again and again is to disable the user account control in windows Vista. Let us understand the procedure in a step by step manner:

Step 1: Press the `windows key' on your keyboard or click the `Start Menu button' to open the `Start Menu'. Use the arrow keys to move to `Settings' or use the mouse to Click `Settings' and then from the drop down menu, select `Control Panel' either by using the right arrow key and pressing the `Enter key' or using the mouse to click the same.

Step 2: Select `User Accounts' option from the `Control Panel' window and press `Enter Key' or double click the icon to open the `User Accounts' window.

Step 3: From `User Accounts' window, select `Turn User Account Control on or off'.

Step 4: This will open a new window where you have the option to select whether to turn off the user account control or not. Uncheck the box that states "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" and press `OK' to accept the changes.

Reboot your computer to see the changes. You will notice that windows vista doesn't ask you for administrator's rights for running any type of program.

Note: This feature of windows vista is meant to protect users and their system from the damage that can be caused by some of the programs meant to cause destruction to the user's system. Therefore, only expert and intermediates users should only try this. Other users can try turning off the user account control at their sole discretion.
