You can only disable it system wide. You can do so under Control Panel -> User Accounts. There is an option there that says “Turn off User Account Protection”. Then you’ll also want to disable or turn off the Security Center notifications which is also in the Control Panel.

UAC was so annoying on my laptop and started giving me tons of errors with image thumbnails, I eventually had to disable all thumbnails. Maybe I will just try to disable UAC completely.

yes, UAC is a disputed function in windows vista, it is a little troublesome for people….so lots users turn it off, but in win7 ,it has been improved already…..

This is a very useful tip but you have to be careful that you know what you’re doing otherwise you could accidentally mess up your PC (you can rely on system restore to some extent though).

I have Microsoft Outlook installed and I only want me to be able to access it. So how can I make the User Account Control (UAC) come up to ask me for administrator permission when I want to open Microsoft Outlook 2003? I have Windows Vista Ultimate.
