After a fresh Windows installation, anyone would want to change some of the default settings. But Vista's User Account Control constantly pops up warnings and each action you perform has to be confirmed twice.
You can temporarily switch off User Account Control to configure the system and avoid the irritating warning messages that keep appearing, but you should make sure you reactivate it when you're done so your system isn't permenantly at risk.
There are two ways to switch it off. The first is to double-click 'User Accounts' in the Control Panel and then click 'Switch on or switch off User Account Control'. Unfortunately, since UAC is active, it will pop up more windows to warn you that important system settings are being changed. Confirm this by clicking 'Next'. Then deactivate the 'Use User Account Control to contribute to the protection of the computer' and confirm that as well. Now, restart your computer which the next dialog box will allow you to do.
The other method is to turn UAC off or on through the 'msconfig' configuration program. To do that, run 'msconfig' from the Start menu's 'Run...' command. Switch to the 'Tools' tab, select 'Disable UAC' and click 'Launch'. You will have to restart the system with this method also.
NOTE: User Account Control increases system security and helps prevent malicious software installations or changes to important system settings. If you switch off this function, even the safe mode of the Internet Explorer will stop working
