Cool Vista Speed-up Trick for a Better User Experience: disable UAC!

One of the new things in Microsoft Vista which wasn’t a problem in MS XP is the User Account Control Policy. I like working with Microsoft Vista but I think it’s pretty annoying that you are frequently asked “Windows needs your permission to continue”. Why do I need to give “myself” permission to continue? It is only bothering me and than I’m not even talking about the black screen that I’m seeing.

Vista Tip Trick

 

Five simple steps for turning of UAC.

  • Go to your Control Panel
  • Type in the search bar “UAC”.
  • This will bring you to “Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off”, just choose your option.
  • Then the annoying “Windows needs your permission to continue” window pops-up, choose continue.
  • Restart your computer and your done.

If you want to keep your system a little bit more secured than use the following Vista Tutorial to disable the screen to go black, your UAC is now still working.

 

Tutorial for Disabling the Vista Black Screen.

  • First we need to open group policy.
  • Go to Start.
  • Open accessories.
  • Open Run.
  • And type in “gpedit.msc”.
  • Then again continue at the annoying “Windows needs your permission to continue” window.
  • Then select “Computer Configuration”.
  • Then “Windows Settings”.
  • And then select “Security Settings”.
  • Open “Local Policies”.
  • Double click on “Security Options”.
  • Now you need to scroll down to the policy named “User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation” and you need to double click on it to open the next window.
  • Select disable, click on apply and OK.

    I don’t have ultimate or business version of vista, it either doesn’t have gpedit.msc, or the security doesn’t allow you to see it, even if you say you want to see ALL files. My version is Home Premium, any suggestions?
