There is this sucker in Vista that pop up when you click on anything and it will ask for permission to access.
I guess Microsoft products had been cracked for countless times. That’s the reason Microsoft applies security on every little thing.
To turn off this default security.
Control Panel->user account->turn off Account control on or off->uncheck use uac to help protect your computer.
Click OK and restart.
Updated: WARNING! the setting above screwed internet explorer. I cannot delete any yahoo mail nor compose email, i cannot log in to certain sites. This is weird. I am going to roll it back and live with it for now.
Updated: I found out that disable UAC using the way mention above will cause your IE not to run in protected mode and your system will be less secure.
This will be second way of disabling UAC
- Run “secpol.msc”
- Expand “Local Policies” and click “Security Options”
- Scroll down to the item User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
- Set it to “Elevate without prompting
Another way to run as a super user.
