[Vista] Possible to eliminate those Continue dialogs??

Hello!

Since I first tried Vista I was very annoyed with these "A program needs your permission to continue" dialogs.. is there a way to eliminate them for once and for all? I don't want to click Continue every time I open another application, that's just crazy!

Just go into User Accounts and disable User Account Control.

I should have known that it was something very easy to do

Thanks anyway!

Nah...don't disable UAC, try these reg entries instead:

Code: Select all

; Switch UAC to quiet mode - keeps it on but supresses prompts for admin and user both
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000
"ConsentPromptBehaviorUser"=dword:00000000
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000001

And there ya go, UAC with no annoying prompts all the time. If you turn off UAC you can't get some things like protected browsing for example (even tho it says its on, if you disable UAC it really isn't working), there are a whole slew of things that UAC has its grubby mits into that you will never notice missing until that one time you need it. For example, some anti-virus software is starting to appear that uses part of the UAC structure, it seems to work but never really detects anything unless UAC is enabled, and never gives any indication that it isn't working.

If you use the Control Panel or the Local Policy to control the UAC then you get a notification to warn you that the UAC has been turned off. What this registry hack does is disable that notification box.

Launch regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD6905CE-952F-41F1-9A6F-135D9C6622CC}

You have two choices, either disable or delete. If you go for the disable, then you could rename the key, for example {FD6905CE Notify}.

No need for registry hacks, you hackers

Here's the "Microsoft-way" to fix the annoying notification that UAC has been disabled:
Go to the Security Center -> Change the way Security Center alerts me -> Don't notify me and don't display the icon (not recommended)
