If you are a Windows Vista or Windows 7 user then you will know about the UAC (User Account Control) feature, the pop-ups that warn you before installing programs and taking similar actions.
Although UAC was introduced by Microsoft as an extra layer of security for the operating system, most Vista users around the world were quite disappointed by the frequent interruptions. There are options to reduce this feature in Windows 7 but it’s still very much there.
There are several ways to disable user account control in Windows. This article will tell you an easy and effective method – disable UAC using Msconfig. Here are the steps.
Disable UAC in Windows Vista
1. Click start. Type msconfig inside the search box and press enter.
2. It will open the System Configuration tool. Now go to the “Tools” tab. Click Disable UAC and then click the “Launch” button.
3. A command window will appear indicating that your operation has been completed successfully. A message will appear in the system tray. Restart your computer to apply the changes.
Configure or Disable UAC in Windows 7
In Windows 7, the options are a bit different. Under “Tools” in the msconfig window you will find “Change UAC Settings”. You need to click that and then click “Launch”.
A window with a vertical slider will pop up. You can use that slider to configure UAC to your preference. If you want to turn it off completely, just drag the slider down and click ok.
So that’s how you disable user account control in Windows Vista and Windows 7. You can re-enable it by following the same process and clicking on instead of off.
