Getting Rid of UAC in Vista..


section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 5.8.2007

gurk2005 prepare this for you on his blog. If you’ve used Windows Vista for more than 3.7 minutes, you know what UAC (User Account Control) is..




It’s the obnoxious, nagging popup window that will be your life for the next 3-5 years unless you switch back to XP in frustration, or to a better OS like… OS X, Suse, Ubuntu, or even XP.

Note: Disabling UAC will lead to a less secure system, so be warned.

Windows need your permission to annoy the crap out of you:

There’s a quick way you can enable or disable this annoying window from the command line:

Disable UAC

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Enable UAC

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

After you enable or disable UAC, you will have to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

( it is strongly advised to back up your existing data before trying these steps)

1. format hardrive.

2. put in windows xp professional disk in dvd rom and follow onscreen instructions.

problem solved!



pointless

By asdf on 07.08.2007 - 15:08
just use msconfig, idiots.

this is crap

By alot on 07.08.2007 - 21:08
this is really really stupid. its easier to go into the control panel or ms config and change it, than to type out all that nonsense (or copy/paste, for that matter)

turn off in msconfig or run.. same thing!!
