Method for Non-domain Users

In the case of Vista Machines not joined to a domain, Microsoft provide a menu whereby you can turn UAC off.  What can I say?  You should not use this setting?  That would be hypocritical; as someone who loves AutoAdminLogon for non production machines, then unsurprisingly, Guy will uncheck the box 'Use User Account Control...'  If you would like to turn off UAC, then navigate to:

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Turn User Account Control On or Off.  Now decide if you want to untick the box which say: 'Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer'.

As I often say, my role is to show you the settings and help you to make informed decisions.  In this instance your decision is this: does the security risk outweigh the irritation of having to click 'Continue' every time you wish to perform an administrative task?

I agree tho.. think carefully about this.. I mean.. we all complained and bitched about the security in Xp... but now they've worked on that... we're bitching about having it?
