Disable UAC Prompts in Windows Vista
The purpose of User Account Control (UAC) is to provide a better protection for Windows Vista system, but unfortunately most, if not all, users find it as the most annoying feature in Windows Vista. Even safe activities like setting the system clock or renaming a Start menu folder requires permission. The easiest way is indeed to completely turn off UAC, but this would leave your system in a greater risk. If you don’t want to disable UAC completely, you can disable UAC prompts instead.
UAC Snooze is the application you will probably run for if you just can’t leave your Windows Vista without the UAC being on. It is a Windows Vista program letting you to disable UAC prompts. The UAC is still on but the program disable UAC prompts for a user-defined amount of time. This is useful if you are working on something important like making changes to your Windows Vista system and you don’t want the UAC disturbs you by prompting permission requests all the way long.
Sitting on the tray, UAC Snooze makes it easy for you to temporarily disable UAC prompts. Click on the UAC Snooze icon on the tray and it will turn off UAC prompts or snooze for 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes (or user-defined time). You can optionally run this program automatically at Windows startup.
UAC Snooze is available for both Windows Vista 32 bit and Windows Vista 64 bit. You can try it 30 days for free and, if you like it, the registration costs you only $5.

Yeah, UAC is the worst feature embedded in Vista since it doesn’t stop popping up warning for every move you make even those the simplest ones. Thanks for letting me know that I can disable UAC prompt temporarily like this. I want to completely turn it off but afraid of the security risk I might have someday due to the permanent turn off. This UAC prompt remover is quite helpful.
