But too cowardly and to be honest unaware of whether i should or not. Like sidebar and aero. M$ recommends you *don't* turn UAC off, but they tell you how to do it (as well as modify it on some versions of Vista.) Several pages of links from M$ own internal search engine: http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=disable+uac You can find what others say on Google with just searching "disable UAC" with or without the quotes. Another option is a tiny (84.3kb) freeware standalone .exe called TweakUAC available here: http://www.tweak-uac.com/ A word of caution: Don't be too quick to just blindly click the big downoad buttons. The're for the vendors other $ware products. You have to look for the TEXT link in the second line of the main text on the download page that says "Download TweakUAC." You might want to peruse the information on the right hand side links about what UAC does and doesn't do for you while you're visiting that site. It's written in language that's easy for most people to understand. Bottom line, if you can tolerate UAC, leave it alone. I can't tolerate it, so it's gone. -- Ron M.

I'm running Vista as a standard user (meaning I have to enter my admin password on UAC pop-up). It never bugs me unless I install something new or make system configuration changes. Quote: I have tried TweakUAC and found that Vista keeps up the irritating "You have disabled UAC" drone repeatedly. I bet it's your programs that aren't behaving properly. Maybe you should turn your irritation towards the programmers instead of towards UAC.
