Guest Bill Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I have disabled UAC on a Vista machine so that I can connect to it from a remote location and change its configuration. However, every time the Vista machine is restarted a window opens above the tray telling the user that UAC is off and that they should "click here" to turn it on. From ignorance or carelessness the user frequently clicks the window and re-enables UAC. How can I prevent this message from appearing? I want UAC off on this machine and I want it to stay off! Thanks. -- ..Bill. Quote

And forgive me for being blunt, and no offense is intended, if you have to ask this question, it means you are not computer savvy enough to check for dangers before they happen. So, do you still want it your way ? IT IS MY DUTY TO GIVE YOU THIS WARNING FIRST. If you insist, then post your reply. Quote
Guest raymundka Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Control Panel, Security Center, Left Pane, Change the way Windows alerts me. I took the risk and first thing I did after I instaled my OS was tuning off UAC and security warnings. It is no advice or suggestion in any way! I would however suggest installing a good protectiion software like ESET smart security and an effective antisyware applicatiion like Spybot Search ans Destroy. This will protect your computer. In my personal opinion you can even turn off the built-in by no means too effective Windows Defender and the similarly useless windows firewall -- raymundka Quote
