Configure the UAC Setting

UAC is a security feature of Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 which helps prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. These changes can be initiated by applications, viruses or other users. User Account Control makes sure these changes are made only with approval from the administrator. If the changes are not approved by the administrator, they are not executed and Windows remains unchanged.

To configure UAC:

  1. Click the Start button and type UAC.
  2. Click Change User Account Control Settings.
  3. Drag the slide bar to Never notify level, which is the lowest setting
  4. Click OK.
