How to Disable UAC on Vista (user access control)

User Access Control is a new feature which was introduced with Microsoft Vista. UAC is an important (although sometimes annoying) security feature which makes it harder for malware or a virus from getting onto your system without your knowledge. I strongly recommend you keep UAC turned on.

If you have a real reason for disabling user access control you can do this by a few methods.

Click on your Start button then Control Panel

Select User Accounts and Family Safety

Select User Accounts

Select Turn User Account Control on or off

Click Continue on the UAC dialogue then untick the Use User Access control (UAC) to help protect your computer checkbox and click OK

Click on Restart Now to make the change or Restart Later if you cant reboot now.
