Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008UAC
Is there any way to turn off UAC, but without having the nagging notification on the taskbar afterwards? To turn off UAC go to Control Panel > Classic View > User Accounts and click 'Turn User Account Control on/off'. To prevent the security pop-up in the System Tray, right-click the red shield (or Control Panel > Classic View > Security Center) and click 'Change the way Security Center......' then choose 'Don't notify me and don't........'. You don’t have to turn UAC off, you can stop the prompt without UAC losing its security strengths, in Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium click the Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin to 0 (zero) from 2. > Is there any way to turn off UAC, but without having the nagging > notification on the taskbar afterwards? >You dont have to turn UAC off, you can stop the prompt without UAC losing >its security strengths, in Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium click the >Windows Orb (Start), type regedit, press Enter and navigate to registry key >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System >and change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin to 0 (zero) from 2. If you don't get the prompts, what's the benefit of keeping it running? Fantastic BurrWalnut, that is simply fantastic! Never a session goes by without that effing annoying b*****d notification popping up. Already opened a few things that used to be hindered by this, has made for a much more fluid running of my desktop! Nonny has a good point - keep in mnd that you have actually OKd any action that would require admin ID or credentials - you will not receive any "warning" of alteration of the registry or system files via IE Protected Mode. > To turn off UAC go to Control Panel > Classic View > User Accounts and > click [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> Is there any way to turn off UAC, but without having the nagging >> notification on the taskbar afterwards?

Maybe that >registry fix isn't permanent? It would have been nice if you included the material you were replying to. The cure for that wasn't a registry hack: "To prevent the security pop-up in the System Tray, right-click the red shield (or Control Panel > Classic View > Security Center) and click 'Change the way Security Center......' then choose 'Don't notify me and don't........'. >>On a restart, I got the usual nagging red shield in the taskbar.

Another cut and paste jockey. Well Bubba, let me tell you. After reading some KB article I made some internal system changes to alter how UAC behaves. I followed the steps exactly. Ever since Vista being the pile of crap it is, if you look in Control Panel it will correctly tell you that UAC is turned on. Yet the moronic pile of crap Vista is it also will pop up a Window saying UAC isn't on and that I should turn it on. So much for the Boys of Redmond programming skills. |
