I've made the choice to turn off UAC. However, Windows insists on spamming me
that its turned off every time I start up the computer. I want it to stop.
How do I accomplish this?

I recommend turning UAC on for obvious security reasons. Applications
should not be allowed admin rights.

To turn on the warnings check the Security Centre.

UAC explained and a little utility to help control it.

The rest are good information sources.

Thanks Spirit, this is what I needed. The author on the website is quite
correct. The popup is only effective if the user understands what they are
responding to. And most users will hit allow anyway because they want the
program to work. UAC doesn't really protect a computer from malicious code.
It only shifts the decision to run from always happening to a user choice.
And that choice is only as good as the user running the computer.
