Quickly Disable Windows Vista’s User Account Control
If Vista’s incessant UAC dialogs begin to annoy you they can be quickly nuked by doing the following…
- Go to Start > Run and type “msconfig”
- In the System Configuration box, click the “Tools” tab.
- Scroll to “Disable UAC” and click launch.
If you decide you miss the nagging, you can enable them again in a similar way by selecting “Enable UAC”
If you want to do this on the command line, you can run the following commands:
Disable:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Enable:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Hope this helps!
