Quickly Disable Windows Vista’s User Account Control

without comments

If Vista’s incessant UAC dialogs begin to annoy you they can be quickly nuked by doing the following…

  1. Go to Start > Run and type “msconfig”
  2. In the System Configuration box, click the “Tools” tab.
  3. 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!
