UAC is just the start of Vista annoyances. I have used DialogDevil to control UAC, the nagging “ballon hints”, and pointless confirmation messages (Did you really mean to ….?)

unfortunately while this removes the UAC annoyance, you cannot use flash player objects when the UAC is disabled

Thank you… thank you a lot.
I’ve heard a lot of rumours about how stopping UAC is impossible, and I am VERY glad to learn that its not! Microsoft were real idiots when they thought this one up XD Seriously.

Thank you! I give you a cookie!

That was a lot of “lol”.

I got rid of UAC after two days, and while I’m sure they thought they were doing some good with this, in the end it just annoys users (a lot of which don’t even know they can turn it off) and based on this alone they’ll say “oh, Vista is crap.”

There’s no way you’ll get me to downgrade to XP. Except for the Nvidia driver (I have to use a version from last April, more recent ones don’t work for me), the beast has been rock solid (Ultimate on the desktop PC, Home Premium on the laptop.) It took me a good 10 days to get used to all the changes (lots of swearing during that period), but now using XP (at work) is a pain.

lmao..went back to xp pro after 3 days of vista. twice as fast and everything works! vista like m.e. is just a very nicely dressed up turd. lol keeps costing you more money to try and configure your builds. not to mention all the time and brain damage. microsoft must think we have no jobs and just can sit around all week screwing around booting and rebooting lol. people and things that waste my time are my arch enemies as time and physical and mental health are my priorities at this junture in my life lol. ty ed
