User Account Control

[Marcin Domaslawski]

Hi,

Create DWORD entry named UacDisableNotify in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center key. Set value 1.

I turned off User Account Control 'cause it was so damn annoying.
Anyway to prevent the security center from reminding me I have
turned this annoying feature off??

There's also a link to change the way windows notifies you but I don't
recall the exact location.

This is the best fix I've found:

If you go into the Local Security Policy MMC under Administrative Tools in
the control panel, browse to Local Policies and click on Security Options,
and then change the option labeled "User Account Control: Behavior of the
elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode" to "Elevate
Without Prompting", then UAC will behave like this:

- Programs that are marked as requiring admin privileges will automatically
run with admin
- Programs that are NOT marked as needing admin privs will NOT receive admin
privs

So, you will still run into circumstances where you will have to work around
UAC (i.e. where a program requires admin permissions but it is not marked as
such), but this gives you the best of both worlds.

You really don't want to turn it off completely because it disables your
Protected Mode in IE.
You can change the way Security Center alerts you in Control Panel-Check
this computers security status and on the left is the Security Center alerts
option.

Open security center. On the left pane, click the link "change the way
windows notifies me".

To be honest I didn't give UAC a chance.
It's not quite so annoiying after a while.
And I feel a bit more secure with it running.

Thanks,
James
