Everybody with Windows Vista knows that the security features can be a huge pain. Every time a program is run or a C:/ folder is opened you get two, three, or even four popup windows asking you if you really want to preform that action. Annoying right? Well, luckily there’s a way to turn them off in a few easy steps. (This tutorial only applies to Windows Vista)

1. Go to the Control Panel and click the User Account icon.
2. Next click “Turn User Account Controls On or Off”
3. Uncheck “Use UAC to Help Protect my Computer” (This step will give you a Windows Security Center alert so you will need to go into the Security Center settings and set your computer to ignore it.)

And your done! Now you can work with your computer without the annoying security popups! If you ever want the popups back all you need to do is check the UAC box. Enjoy!

WARNING: When UAC is not active Windows will not alert you if an unidentified program is trying to access important files. This tutorial should only be used if you have a separate antivirus program such as Mcafee or Norton!
