How can I obtain 100% administrative rights, when logged in .
When ever I want to make a change, i am prompter to be having admin rights and it just requires another click. Then I have access. But this is very buggy when u want to work fast.
I want to get rid of the prompt.

Thanks

Hello,

This prompt is very useful to you, as it prevents applications from running
with admin power without your consent. Also, applications that do NOT need
admin power do not HAVE admin power with this feature turned on. For
example, notepad has no need to be able to format your hard drive, so it is
not given such power.

Turning off this feature will force all programs to run with admin
permissions, without your consent or knowledge, and even if the program does
not need admin power. Also, turning off this feature prevents other security
features from working, such as protected mode in internet explorer.

However, if you don't want to know when programs request admin permission,
you want all the programs to run on your computer with admin permissions
even if they don't need it (which if compromised could take over your
computer), and don't want advanced security features such as protected mode
in internet explorer, here's how to turn it off:

- Click start
- Click control panel
- Click user accounts and family safety
- Click user accounts
- Click turn user account control on or off
- Click the checkbox
- Click OK
- Restart your computer

This setting affects all the programs running on your computer, and all the
users on your computer.

What I'd do, is right-click the shortcut to the program that needs
these rights, and set Properties to run in admin mode. Or when you
launch an app that doesn't need to be in admin mode all the time, you
can right-click it and run as administrator.

I wouldn't disable UAC completely, though that's possible. The
problem UAC is trying to fix is the dated NT per-user permissions
model, which assumes everything done during a user's login session
reflects the intent of the user. Given how oftem malware SE's both
user and system to run during these sessions, we need something to
alert when such moves are being automated by code; hence UAC.
