Windows Vista: Can't stand the "User Account Control: Windows needs your permission to continue" dialog?

Annoyed with always getting that message? I was. If you want to get rid of that prompt, click on START, then RUN, and type in GPEDIT.MSC. In the Group Policy Object Editor window, under Computer Configuration, expand Windows Settings, then Security Settings, then Local Policies, then Security Options. In the RIGHT pane, double-click on “User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” and choose “Elevate without prompting” in the drop down list and then OK. That should be it! The system should now automatically use your admin username and not prompt you to “Continue”.

    But doesn't that completely defeat the purpose of LUA?

    Well, if you're the administrator on the machine, then I don't see the need to be prompted whether or not i want to continue everytime I want to run a program or open control panel or etc. It just doesn't make any sense. I think it should only prompt you for creditials if you don't have priviledges to run it.

    I think that your experience and perspective is probably a good predictor for the majority of other users. Either people will see so many prompts all the time that they will not scrutinize them at all, or else they will disable them all together.

    Unfortunately this doesn't work in Vista Home Premium, as the group policy editor doesn't exist in that version.
