Windows 7

The user interface ofUser Account Control (UAC) settings in Windows 7has changed to reflect the move to make UAC less annoying, more user control and moreuser friendlier approach. In Windows 7, the UAC has a slider bar which allows users to

configure and select which level of notification (and hence protection against

unauthorized and malicious access) they want. With the fine-tuning of UAC, the wordingdisable or turn off is no longer available. So how can you disable UAC? Or at least,

how can you turn off the notification prompt or pop-up so that they appear less regularly?

In fact, the steps to disable UAC is Windows 7 is similar to steps to disable UAC in

Windows Vista, only with slight user interface change, and there is plenty of methods to

turn off UAC too.
