How to disable “UAC control” on Windows Vista operating systems.
—————————————————–
Introduction: Windows Vista has a built-in function that automatically reduces the potential security breeches in the system. It does that by automatically enabling a feature called User Account Control (or UAC for short). The UAC forces users that are part of the local administrators group to operate as though they were regular users with no administrative privileges. However, the appearance of the repeated message can be distracting
Instruction *1
—————–
1.] Launch ‘MSCONFIG’ from the Run menu.
Start >> Run >> msconfig
code: msconfig
2.] Click on the Tools tab and scroll down, you will eventually find: “Disable UAP”
3.] Click on it and press the ‘Launch’ button.
Notes: when you press Launch, a CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window.
4.] Close ‘MSCONFIG’ and reboot your computer.
Notes: you can re-enable UAC by selecting the “Enable UAP” line and then clicking on the Launch button.

Instruction *2
—————–
1.] Open Registry Editor.
Start >> Run >> regedit
2.] In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> Software >> Microsoft >> Windows >> CurrentVersion >> Policies >> System
3.] Locate the following value [DWORD]: EnableLUA
4.] Set the value to ‘0’
Note: Please backup your registry before you make any changes…
5.] Close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer.
Tips: In order to re-enable UAC function, just change the value to 1.

Instruction *3
—————–
This can be done with the “Local Group Policy” control or an “Active Directory-based GPO,” which is much more suited for large networks where one would like to disable UAC for many computers at once.
1.] Open the Group Policy Editor from your Vista computer.
Start > Run > gpedit.msc
Notes: If you’re using “AD-based GPO,” please use this system launch below. However, this is only for Vista computer.
Start > Run > gpmc.msc
2.] In the Group Policy Editor window, browse…
+ Computer Configuration
+ Windows Settings
+ Security Settings
+ Local Policies
+ Security Options
3.] In the right panel, scroll down and look for the “User Access Control policies.”
4.] Exit Group policy and reboot your computers.

Instruction *4
—————–
This method is very sneaky. But, you’ll find it without a problem!
1.] Open Control Panel.
2.] Under “User Account and Family settings,” click on the “Add or remove user account,” which is underneath “Setup parental controls.”
3.] Click on one of the user accounts.
4.] Under the user account click on the “Go to the main User Account page” link.
5.] Under “Make changes to your user account” click on the “Change security settings” link.
6.] In the “Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure,” click to un-select the “Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer.”
7.] Click on the Ok icon to complete the process.
8.] You will be asked to reboot your computer. But, click no if you want to reboot your computer in a later time.
Notes: To re-enable the UAC control, please follow the guide again and select the checkbox; “Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure.”

For user who is dumb enough to try instruction 1, 2, 3 or 4. But, fail to disable UAC control; you can use this software below. But, please respect the owner who created the UAC control software!
