    How to disable the User Account Control in vista

    Hi friends,
    I have windows vista installed on my desktop computer. I want to disable that useless security feature called User Account Control. It is vista's built in feature. Can anyone tell me how to disable it instead of using control panel?

    Thank you in advance.

    You can use a software called TweakUAC. It is easy to use and free software. Just run this program and you can disable UAC by selecting an option in the utility.

    Disabling the UAC i.e. user control account may make your system insecure. You can disable it with just a command prompt given below:
    C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
