It is annoying, isn't it. I'd like to see an answer to that as well.

It's not working for me, where do I do that? In "run", or "search all
files"? When I type user accounts in "search all files" it shows messages,
but I don't see a user accounts in the result pane. When I type it in "run"
it does nothing. I'm not too savvy with this stuff. Could you please explain
a bit further? I would really like to get rid of it.

Thanks Andy, I did find it in the control panel using your instructions, and
was able to do it, but you may be right...I should probably just leave it
alone for now. I am not too familiar with Vista right now since it's new,
and it is a bit different than Win98 which I had for the past 10 years. At
least I know how to do it when I want to now thanks to you. :-)

Hi Cheri,
Download tweak UAC
http://www.tweak-uac.com/download/
Put the program on C: and rightclick the program: "run as administrator"
The manual: http://www.tweak-uac.com/what-is-tweak-uac/
The best and safest option is "Switch UAC to quiet mode."
But now you get annoying pop-ups from the Vista securitycentre.
You have to ajust the way securitycentre warns you.
Go to Controlpanel > Classicview > securitycentre > left pane > "Change the
way securitycentre alerts me" > take option two or three (best).
Now you got rid of annoying pop-ups and nag screens, but when it's *really*
necessary when security is at risk, Vista *will* warn you, because of the
UAC quiet mode.
