Disable User Account Control In Windows Vista Using The Control Panel

Windows Vista uses a feature called User Account Control or UAC to limit the privileges of regular user accounts. UAC ensures that all user accounts that are not part of the local administrators group run with no administrative privileges. This feature is enabled by default. However, in some situations you may want to disable it and there are multiple ways that you can accomplish this. One method is by using the Control Panel.

To disable UAC using the Control Panel:

1. Open the Control Panel.

2. Under User Account and Family settings, click the Add or remove user account option.
3. Select a user account.
4. Click the Go to the main User Account page option.
5. Click the Change security settings option.
6. Remove the check beside the Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure option.
7. Click OK.
8. Restart the computer.

You can enable UAC once again by following the steps above.
