Taming Vista’s User Account Control

Vista implemented a new User Account Control (UAC) feature which basically stops you to ask “are you sure you want to run this program” each time you run it. This does help prevent viruses from getting onto a machine, but can be so irritating that many users turn the feature off – thus losing the protection.

One thing missing from Vista’s UAC is the ability to REMEMBER a user’s choice on individual programs. While Microsoft hasn’t added this, Symantec’s Norton Labs has created a FREE tool which allows User Account Control to ‘remember’ user choices on common programs. Before downloading, left-click START, right-click COMPUTER left-click PROPERTIES to verify which version of Vista/Windows7 you have, and download either the 32-bit or 64-bit version. This experimental tool can be downloaded from Norton Labs at:

And the best news – it works! Any user whose older program has an ‘unregistered’ publisher, may now run that program without having UAC in their face each time.
