Two of my startup programs require admin access when I boot it up so I changed to run as admin every time. Is there a way to disable UAC so I can do this to my mom's computer as well? She clicks 'no'.
Yeah, disable UAC going to the control panel the user accounts (or something like that in english), and there click "change user account control settings". Mine is in Portuguese so I'm not sure how it
If it's a Vista: Control Panel ->User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts -> Turn User Account Control on or off. Mess around with that to see what you get.
Well then, I guess disabling UAC could be a good alternative. I'm pretty sure I know how I can safely avoid my computer being hijacked and the culprits messing around in the background. Thanks guys.
I find UAC annoying (not as much on 7 but still...), so I turn it off immediately after installing the OS. However if you're not sure about some of your actions, turn it on again ;).
If your mothers account is password protected you could also disable her password if you have your own account on the computer. by running: (Note: u must use run and not the W7 search) (...)
by running: "Control Userpasswords2" and that will give u access to reset ANY users password, change account type, view hidden users and add secure sign in. idk if thats what u meant but yeah
