Hi guys, I've been using Vista x64 for over a year now, I wanted to ask something, is there anyway of switching off the DAMN ADMIN pop ups that keep on coming up with every damn program? I hate it when it asks me every bloody time for admin confirmation, I mean I AM THE DAMN ADMIN SO WHY ASK EVERY BLOODY TIME!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:
Sorry for the rant but anyway of switching this off or do I have to go back to XP??:shakes:

What are you running that needs admin access every time you use it?
UAC is only ever really a pain for me when I'm installing / removing programs, not day to day.

well....everytime I open the following:
- HW Monitor
- Prime
- Orthos
- installing or unistalling anything!!
- and whole load of other programs that I can't remember now
it pops up with that stupid screen to give admin permisson, it just sucks. But not anymore thanks to Flarexi :up:

Download vlite and rip all the useless crap out of vista before you install it.

I'm amazed you've been running Vista for a year and didn't know about UAC. Hell, it even tells you in the about popup how to turn it off :confused:

"In Windows Vista, the built-in administrator account is disabled by default. In previous versions of Windows, an Administrator account was automatically created during Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE) with a blank password. An Administrator account with a blank password is a security risk. To better protect the system, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in all clean installations and upgrades of Windows Vista"
Enter "cmd" in the search box under the Start menu and press CTRL + SHIFT + Enter to launch the command prompt with administrative privileges. Alternatively, you can also right-click the highlighted result and choose the "Run as administrator" option. Now, there is a simple command that you must type, namely "net user administrator /active:yes" without the inverted commas. In order to disable it, enter "net user administrator /active:no". Just hit Enter after each command and you're all set. :up:
