    Click the Windows Button-> Click your icon in the start menu-> "Turn UAC Off/On"-> Uncheck the box->Apply->Restart

    Good luck

    UAC is by far one of the worst additions to the Microsoft package if you do ANY kind of installations, i.e. the whole world. It is great for limited accounts and those learning how to use the computer, but it will not only slow you down, but 'freeze', for lack of a better word, your computer during comprehensive installations, then requiring more work.

    I actually prefer it. I have everything set to "run as administrator" so nothing starts up that I don't want running.
