In this tutorial, learn how to disable the annoying UAC or User Account Control on your Windows Vista computer. This clip will show you how to do this without compromising your security.

No doubt the Vista User Account Control (UAC) is the single biggest irritation in the whole operating system, but if you are thinking of turning it off altogether, you better think twice. UAC is a security feature that can help prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. By turning it off, you will lose all protection and put yourself in great risk of virus and malware attack.

A better way to deal with the UAC is to tweak it such that it continues to run in the background without popping out the annoying prompt every few seconds. Here are two software that you can use to make your UAC less annoying without compromising your security.
