The best way if you really want to turn off the UAC

Digg!

So, once again, Brandon got us some new tips. This time, he shows us the best way to turn off the annoying UAC, loose a bit of security - but still be secure.

This tells me just one more thing - and that is - the guys who actually work at Microsoft are also tired of UAC dialog windows popping up :)

Here is his post:

Since Brandon kindly requested I remove the full quote of the post, please go directly to his site for downloading of the registry change file and more up-to-date info on this.
You can read his coment below, and I also recommend you do run your system with full UAC - that's at least how I run it anyways.

Thanks for the tip Brandon!

Hi Peter, I couldn't find your e-mail address on here. Could you please edit this post?

I'd prefer that you not copy the entire instructions or directly link to the .reg file. I may even alter my post to put up some additional warning before letting a user download the file.

I also want to be very clear that I DO NOT run my systems in this manner, and it is definitely NOT going to ensure your system is secure.

It's better than disabling UAC completely. That's all I'm saying.
