Annoying popup about UAC

Hey,

I have disabled the User Account Control in Vista. Every time when I restart, there is a popup from "Windows Security Alerts" in my desktop tray informing me to turn it back on. Is there an option to disable this alert? If I disable this in msconfig in the startup section, would that disable the windows firewall?

I hope the question is clear. Thanks for your help!

Dave

Look in the Security Center for the option "How/when to notify me" and turn off the notice.

That was simple, I can't believe I didn't see that on the side bar. It's not bolded or anything so maybe that's why I missed it. Thanks!
