Leave UAC on, but suppress the prompts

Leave UAC on, but suppress the prompts
If you turn off UAC, you get rid of the annoying dialogs, but yo also turn off some useful security features. A better solution? Use the Group Policy option shown here (or a matching registry edit) to automatically approve all consent requests. Use this option only if you understand the security risks, and keep reading for my advice on the best way to use it.


For the full story and step-by-step instructions, see Fixing Windows Vista, Part 2: Taming UAC.
