That is the UAC(user account control)
Go into control Panel, and turn it off!

To disable UAC prompts:
Run Regedit and navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System]
Change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin from "2" to "0".

Hello,

You may run into some compatibility problems with UAC turned off. You
might consider just elevating the Administrator account instead. This
will show you how.
