User Account Control

Hi:

Is there a way to turn off UAC and not have Windows Security Protection
System display it in the taskbar?

Thanks,

Yup.

Got to Control Panel (Classic view), Security Center.

Look on the left, choose "Change the way..."

Hello Tom,

Yes, there sure is. The two tutorials can help show you how to.

and

Hope this helps,

Hi:

Thanks for all the info on how to turn of UAC and not have it displayed in
the Taskbar.

I have one other comment in regards to this procedure and that is this
considered a normal process within Vista? I know the consequences of turning
off the Security Alert, but is this a procedure that most Vista users do
nowadays do to stop the annoyance of the pop up screen?

As you can see I am not an experienced Vista user.

Thanks,

Many of us do, but the "informed" nannies tell us not to do it.

I've been online since '91 without an issue. Suddenly UAC is forced
on me for my own good. 30 minutes after I installed Vista, I turned
it off - that was a couple years ago.

That is the usual way folks turn off UAC, but you might consider usin
the Norton UAC Tool instead. This way you can leave UAC turned on an
add UAC program exceptions to not receive UAC notices for thos
programs

If you didn't want to use the Norton UAC Tool, then you could als
disable the specific UAC Security Warning notice instead of all of them

Hi Brink:

I am not a big Norton fan anymore so I went with your procedure to just
disable the UAC rather than all Security Warning Notices. This seems to be
the most prudent and reasonable action to take.

Thanks for all your help!
