Turn UAC on/off

UAC is the option where a program will ask permission before doing some that is potentially dangerous which may be too inconvenient for you. I personally do not suggest you turn it off.

This option is not available on Vista starter, Vista home basic, or Vista home premium.

  • Navigate the Control Panel
    • user accounts
    • user accounts (again)
    • turn user controls on or off
  • check or clear "use User Access Control to help protect your computer"
    • check the box to turn the option on
    • clear the box to turn the option off
