Speed Up Windows Vista

User Account Control (UAC) is a security feature that is supposed to provide better protection for a computer, by asking the user for confirmation every time an action is performed. This feature is not only annoying, it wastes a lot of time stopping processes that are not threats to the computer ? that?s why Windows 7 has a much scaled back version of UAC.

You can only enable or disable it for Vista Home Basic and Home Premium. It is your choice: Computer security is very important; but you do have other choices - for example, Norton UAC and other third-party utilities. To see more information about the Norton UAC, skip the below procedure and go to the next screen.

I do not recommend disabling UAC; but I do recommend using an alternative. However, if you don't want to do either, here is how to disable the Windows UAC:

To disable UAC, perform the following steps:

1. Click on the Start Button
2. Select ?Control Panel?
3. Select ?User Accounts and Family Safety?
4. Select ?User Accounts?
5. Select ?Turn User Account Control on or off?
6. Select ?Continue? at the UAC prompt
7. Uncheck the box ?Use User Account Control?, click ?Ok?
8. Click ?Restart? and reboot your computer

Restarting your computer may take some time to complete. When Windows restarts, UAC will be disabled.

After you have made these changes to your system, measure success. It your computer is still not as fast as you think it should be, follow the instructions in the article "Top 9 Ways to Speed Up Your Computer".
