"User account control - Windows needs your permission to continue"

[Guest Pekka Numminen]

Is it possible - if so, how - to disable the boxes asking to verify

running a program or do administrative tasks and let Vista do the

tricks without confirmation?

Possible, certainly. Easy, even. Just how wise doing so is, however,

depends entirely upon how skillful and security-aware the user is, and

what other security mechanisms are in place.

In particular, if you need to disable to run an application, it would

be far better to replace that intentionally (It could have been designed

properly, had the developers wanted or known how to do so.) non-secure

application with one that's actually designed for Vista, particularly if

it's something that used frequently, or for extended (more than a few

minutes) periods of time.

Hello Pekka,

 

You can elevate the privilege level of administrator accounts so that

they are no longer asked by UAC for permission. This tutorial will show

you how to. This way the Standard accounts are still asked by UAC.

Hope this helps,

There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask

them.
