HEHEHE… getting pissed at [tag]Windows Vista[/tag]’s [tag]UAC[/tag] (User Account Control), because every time I try to install a program it would pop-up and prompt me for about a JILLION times.. hehhe… Well, not actually a JILLION times but a lot… It happened when I hard reset my O2 XDA IIi, so I had to re-install my favorite pocket pc programs/games since pocket pc application are small… installation is quick. Everytime I start a new application setup my laptop would act stupid and just freeze up, waiting for the UAC prompt to allow/deny which is annoying. Finally, disabled the UAC and went on with my day.

But that got me cracking up, so I looked for new ways to disable the UAC (that’s for annoying me!) and I found 3 ways to do it. The first one is of course, what I did, to complete my pocket pc installation woes.

Disabling UAC via Control Panel: Way #1

  1. Click Start
  2. Go to Control Panel.
  3. Go to User Account and Family settings
  4. Click the Add or remove user account option.
  5. Select your user account.
  6. Click the Go to the main User Account page option.
  7. Click the Change security settings option.
  8. Remove the check beside the Turn on User Account Control (UAC).
  9. Click OK.
  10. Restart the computer. BOOM all done.. hehehe

now to reverse it just in case you want the UAC back in action, do the same steps and put a check on Turn on User Account Control (UAC)Disabling UAC via MSCONFIG: Way #2

  1. Click Start
  2. Click Run. Type msconfig and click OK.
  3. Click the Tools tab.
  4. Click the Disable UAC.
  5. Click the Launch button.
  6. Close MSCONFIG.
  7. Restart the computer. KAPOW all done.. hehehe

To reverse the damage you did, do steps 1-3 then Click the enable UAC. then proceed to step 5-7
Disabling UAC via Registry: Way #3

  1. Click Start
  2. Click Run. Type regedit and click OK.
  3. Go to the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  4. Find the value, EnableLUA. Modify the value to 0.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Close the Registry Editor.
  7. Restart the computer. KABOOM all done.. hehehe

Now… blah, blah, blah.. same steps change EnableLUA value to 1.
