How to change User Account Control settings in Windows 7

User Account Control
The User Account Control (UAC) tool was one of the most reviled features of Vista - and appearing annoyed every time you wanted to install or update a program - and many users are surprised to discover that retains its place in Windows 7 . But with a higher level of control, this new version is much less intrusive. Here's how to change the UAC settings and explain what each one.

How to change the UAC settings

1. To view and change the UAC settings, first click the Start button, then open the Control Panel. Now click on the system and the "Security" and in the resulting window (pictured below) you'll see a link "Change settings of User Account Control". Click on it and the UAC window will appear.

2. The selection bar is displayed in the UAC window (below) can be used to select one of four settings. The default is the second highest level of protection, which means that we get a warning if a program tries to change the Windows settings. The warning does not appear when you make changes yourself, though.

3. The fair value below the default value is very similar. In fact, only made a cosmetic change how UAC works, that does not dim the screen when a popup. This means it will be less evident when an alert appears, so I recommend you stick to the default settings.

4. If you are particularly concerned about the criminals and software be deceived without knowing it, in authorizing changes to the configuration of Windows, you can press the UCA to its highest level. In short, this means UAC popups appears less frequently as they do in Vista, alerts you when you make changes Windows 7 settings.

5. Slide the bar to the bottom right and effectively turn the UAC function. With UAC in this configuration, any program can make changes to Windows settings and leave you none the wiser. Unless you are having problems with UAC when running a specific program, we would recommend clear direction of this value.
