Switch UAC To The Quiet Mode

Some time ago, on 21th November to be exactly, I wrote a post about how you can disable the User Access Control (better known as UAC) in Windows Vista.
While surfing on the net I found a great small application for those who don’t want to disable the UAC. This application called Tweak UAC offers three options:
- Turn the UAC off
- Switch UAC to the quite mode
- Turn the UAC on
The first and third option speak for them selfs but what about switching UAC to the quite mode? This options does not turn off UAC. Instead, it only makes UAC to operate in the quiet mode. In the quiet mode, UAC does not display the elevation prompts for the administrators. So when you attempt to do an administrative task, you will be allowed to proceed automatically without prompting you to confirm the operation.
As for the other user who haven’t administrator rights, this means that they still will see the elevation prompts.
So if you don’t want to turn off the UAC, then this might be a great outcome for you!
Note: If you turn UAC off or switch it to operate in the “quiet” mode, Vista starts displaying a warning message in its taskbar. You can turn this message off by: double clicking on the shield icon in the taskbar to open Windows Security Center. Then click on the “Change the way Security Center alerts me” link, in the left panel. Finally, choose one of the “Don’t notify me” options.

As I said before, I like to get notifications in my pc so to know what is going on in my processor. It may be that a programs is running or needs to run but I willingly disable that option. It’s me, but your idea is cool too.
Thanks for the tip, I install many pieces of freeware to test and that popup annoys me all the time, as I am the only one using this computer and the administrator it might make sense to just disable it, since turning it quiet for administrators is almost the equiv unless you actually have non-administrators using the system.
Still I leave it running because some installs don’t require and some do, and sometimes I run a program that kicks off something risky.

Yeah, me too but this might be a solution for those who don’t want to turn it off Shaxx.
If you can live with it, it’s fine with me.. Personally it really irrates me cbr600rr Fairings.
Your welcome Dragon Blogger! I install a lot of programs too and if I don’t like it / or it doesn’t work fine I uninstall it with Your Uninstaller 2008. Ok, You’ve got to pay for it but then again.. I can’t live without it!
Great chooice Wilson! I turned it off the first moment I had Vista installed on my pc.
When I first changed from XP Pro to Vista 64 it was a pain to be prompted for things I wanted to do. So, I disabled the UAC and thought I was doing the right thing. Then after six months I got hit with a trojan and if I would have had the UAC turned on, I could have prevented the disaster.
This app which allows you to shot off the nag screens might be interesting to use. Will have to install and see what it does and how it reacts.
A trojan Madmouse Blog? That sucks.. I still hate UAC and I have it turned off!
