Disable Vista’s UAC But Be Cautious


User Access Control (UAC) in Vista is sometimes headache for users even when it gives you the “extra” security which you want. UAC is a frustration when you are reorganizing your files/folders or installing new applications. Disabling UAC in such case requires you to restart your computer. A headache again!

Using TweakUAC you can actually temporarily disable your UAC prompt for the time when you install new applications or clear your unwanted folders in program files. You do not need to install TweakUAC rather give it administrator privileges via UAC prompt and then you get to see this window:

Instead of choosing the first option which will completely disable UAC, choose second option. Quiet Mode will make UAC go to sleep only for administrators. Vista will inform you that UAC is disabled in system tray. Now go on and complete your work.

But remember that doing this makes your computer open to attacks so you should attempt this step very carefully and for short period only.
