shouldnt! Am I missing something. Why don't they take a leaf out of firewall programs and allow you to "allow certain programs in" so you dont have to be asked everytime?!?! Then it will only annoy you once! i have to keep being asked for the same programs i run day in day out. Thats bl**dy stupid! That will make people turn in off.. and then how secure are their systems then! JoeB In response to IT Guy's April 4th comment, I'd say that releasing Vista in its present form, when MS was undoubtably aware it would break many legacy apps, was the concept that was not fully thought out, period. Regards, JoeB Joe, every one is missing the point, from Microsoft's financial point of view, this is exactly what they wanted!!! ello everybody, im really startaing to get annoyed with uac. I understand how to turn it off, but i only have one problem. I'm logged onto a limited account user and the Administrator is locked with a password. secpol.msc command doesnt work, control userpassword2 doesn't work? anyone know how to disable uac from alimited account with a protected password? unless you're a damn good hacker, it can not be done. For a fee (of course), you can contact microcrap, and they will tell you how to unlock the admin account from the recovery console. But again, your easiest option is to search astalavista for a hack. thankyou for your advice papa smurf ill check it out. but, before
