Disable UAC on Windows Vista for Good

2009/06/03 - י"א סיון תשס"ט

I know there are a lot of things bad in Vista but the king of the hill is the UAC (User Account Control) that suppose to be there to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase in privilege level. But the reality is that this is the most annoying characteristic of Windows Vista.

UAC: Are you sure you want to do this? Yes or No

User: Yes

UAC: Are you absolute sure? Yes or No

User: Yes

UAC: You do not have any second thoughts about it? Yes or No

User: No

UAC: this is your last chance… are you completely sure? Yes or No

User: Yes

UAC: Ok, it is your choice….

UAC: Sorry there are no enough space to delete the file…

Well now there are many ways to rip of this and here is the easier way. Just download this software and in no time you are free of UAC.

TweakUAC for Windows Vista.

TweakUAC™ is a free software tool that you can use to quickly turn UAC (User Account Control of Windows Vista) on or off, or to make UAC operate in the quiet mode. This software is FREE, no strings attached.
