its simple go >control panel >user account and family safety>user accounts>turn user account control on or off> press continue, and if you want to enable it make sure the tick is in place, if you want to disable it untick it and press OK THERE

HOPE THIS IS EASIER LOL!

I don’t know what has happened, or how to fix it. I hadn’t gotten round to disabling UAC and this happens.

Whenever I try to do anything which normally causes UAC to pop up, the screen will dim as it normally does and that’s it. No pop up, just a dimmed screen which I can’t interact with. I have to Crtl+Alt+Dlt and when I go back it’s gone. I never get to allow anything. This only started today, and I’m using Windows Vista Home Premium. Pretty sure I’m an admin, and I have guest account toggled on.

Any method for turned off UAC needs UAC which I can’t do.

Send me an e-mail if you know a way.

I’ve got Windows VISTA Home Premium on an HP laptop. Recently, it has been asking me to type in an administrator password to make ANY changes to the system. There is no administrative user, and no administrative password. Moreover, the permission message leaves no place tpo type any password anyway, and the “OK” button is always grayed out. Therefore the only option is “cancel” which terminates any attempt to make any changes.

It does not matter whether I attempt to change the user account control settings through the command prompt or through the Windows control panel utilities, or otherwise. I think I have tried everything.

My Norton 2008 finds no problem with my hard disk, and I can still use the programs already installed, as long as I do not try to make any changes in anything.

Windows techs and the user blog have offered a number of suggestions about changing settings that have not worked. The system simply will not let me make the necessary changes.

I’m open to any other suggestions, including how to take VISTA off this computer and install XP.

I think Microsoft should truly be ashamed about imposing a travesty like VISTA on its customers.

Dude,
the easiest way, i dunno if it has been mentioned before is:

go to Control Panel -> User accounts -> Turn User Account Control On or Off

then simply Untick the box .

cheers. (:
