Though I don't recommend that either unless you really just can't stand them. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/new-way-to-change-the-uac#post-21114 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:41:45 +0000 The Geek 21114@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>You are exactly right. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/new-way-to-change-the-uac#post-21112 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:39:33 +0000 Smashpmk712 21112@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Also I think that if you take the "Selected command" string and make a shortcut with it you can do the same thing(in a shortcut). </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/new-way-to-change-the-uac#post-21109 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:33:23 +0000 Smashpmk712 21109@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I was just in msconfig and noticed you can use it to disable/enable the UAC. </p> <p>Go to the Start menu and type msconfig and press enter<br /> <img src='http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/smashpmk712/uac1.jpg' /></p> <p>Then click on the tools tab and scroll down to disable or enable the UAC, select it and press Launch.<br /> <img src='http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/smashpmk712/UAC2.jpg' /></p> <p>That's it, I don't know if this has been covered yet but I thought it was a little bit easier than using the control panel to do it. </p>
