run on administrator on vista

[advancedgeek]

i'm annoyed by the thing that says i need to be administrator even though the account i am on is an administrator account and i need to know how to stop this security thing as no one else will access this pc. i don't mean the right click and run as administrator option because i have to do that for every program and it is just annoying.

Actually the account that you create when you install Vista is NOT the Admin account. It is a Power User account. So technically you ARE NOT the Admin.

Go into the Control Panel and Go under User Accounts. From there turn off the UAC. Either that or follow the instructions i have placed in the Vista Thread to run you Vista PC as if it were XP.

i checked under the user options and it says that i am in part of administrator group not power users. but it still annoys me even though i disabled uac. i still keep getting i need to be administrator everytime i run a program and i don't want to keep right clicking and click run as administrator.

You are a part of the Admin group but the account is not the actual admin account. If you follow my guide that i posted in the Vista thread you can unlock the Admin account and never have those prompts again.

But be forwarned. That account will have the default settings. You will have to make it your own just like you did with the current account.
