Stop User Account Control under Vista

June 6, 2007

Vista constantly asks for confirmation of actions when you’re installing software. This is designed to prevent worms and trojans from doing their thing, but some installations that worked under XP will fail under Vista because of this behavior. You can fix it (and stop the constant nagging) by stopping “User Account Control” as follows:

  1. Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
  2. Click on “Turn user account control on or off”.
  3. Uncheck “Use user account control (UAC) to protect your computer”.
  4. Click “OK”.
  5. Reboot.
