The user account control Popup

I am an administrator on my son's laptop and I can't get into anything of mine in Panel, including Parental control.  I have an account control user pop up asking permission to make changes.  It asks for my password, but there is no place to put it.  All I can do is click No..  Help!

It sounds like the administrator (or your other account that is an administrator-level) has been disabled.  To fix it, you have to start safe mode (hold F8 when you turn on your computer) and activate it.  Rob Williams explains it here: http://techgage.com/news/uac_pop-up_with_no_password_box/

    Please, don't say "user account" when you hear the user account control. They are 2 different things.
    Tell the UAC if you wish.

    Take a look at this tutorial

  • The language bar shows when the user account control appears, supposed to be hidden.

    I've been looking for an answer to this one so vain if this question has already been answered please point me in the right direction. I chose to hide the language bar after a reinstall of windows 7, but whenever the user account control appears I see the language bar sitting there, mocking me. I don't see any option to close, only to hide. It does not show during normal activity, only when the user account control POPs asking if I want to allow a program to run. It's driving me crazy.

    Thanks in advance

    Old post I know but I cannot believe no one could help you guys, I recently noticed this was happening on my pc, have no idea why, but I guess it was something to do with installation/un-installing new software. In any case, here is the solution, because I don't think that these guys have a clue of what you're going on, of course, lol.

    Click on:

    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Clock, language and region
    Regional and Language Options
    Keyboards and languages
    Change keyboards...
    Language bar
    Hidden
    Ok

    Now return to the regional and language options and then click:

    Administrative
    Copy to reserved accounts

    * Type password *, click on:

    System accounts
    Ok
    Ok

    If for any reason any you do not see a password for copy to reserved accounts, and instead, option you have this pop up with checkboxes:

    Copy your regional and language settings to these accounts:

    Default user account (new users)
    System accounts (local system, local service, and network service)
    Just check the two of them and ok.

    There's no more annoying language on UAC bar more.

    Hi hlsmlane,

    Welcome to the Windows Vista Forums answers.
     
    Some applications, such as applications to be internal or non-Microsoft products, require the full administrator access token to perform at least some of their functions or tasks, but have not been identified as applications administrator by the developer or Publisher. In this case, you can use the following procedure to mark an application so that the operating system always requires the use of a full administrator access token.
     
    Important: you cannot mark an application to bypass the message user account control.
     
    To perform the following procedure, you must be able to connect with or provide the credentials of a member of the local Administrators group.
     
    To mark an application to always require a full administrator access token
     
    1 right click on an application that is likely to require a full administrator access token, but has not been marked as such.
     
    2 click Properties and then click the Compatibility tab.

    3. under privilege level, select run this program as an administrator check box, and then click OK.
     
    Note: If the run this program as an administrator option is unavailable, it means that the application is blocked from always running with administrator credentials, the application does not require any administrator credentials to run, or you are not connected to the computer as an administrator.

  • How can I permanently disable and remove the User Account Control (UAC) on Control Panel?

    This feature on Windows Vista is really annoying when you do a presentation. I want to permanently disable and remove from the control panel.

    Hi Eyngel,

    If I understand you correctly, you want to disable or delete the user (UAC) of your computer access control.

    You can turn off the UAC, but do not remove it completely from your computer.

    You can let on that it is one of the security features of Windows Vista.

    To turn off the UAC:

    Go to control panel > user accounts > manage another account > at bottom of the page delete the control on the use of user access control.
    It should ask you to restart the computer to complete the process.

    I hope this helps. ----------------------------------------------------------

  • I have a problem with the user account control restricting printing.

    Original title: problem of UAC Restriction...

    In fact, this problem only occurs on Windows 7 / Vista including our field is now progressing to it. The problem is that we still use an OLD way for ourselves print documents by a former software which will form the LPT port. We used to map the BP turbine as: "net use LPT3: \\print_server\printer / persistent: Yes.

    EVERYTHINS works correctly, the fact is that we can mount the printer on LPT port, but we cannot print on it. The only way we found to make it work is by disabling that turned off.

    Is it possible to change this and to let any user print to an LPT port, even if UAC is the highest value?

    I thank you for your answer and have a nice day!

    In fact, was how I managed to solve this problem by defining the rights for users to C:\Windows\system32\spool folder on the print server.

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  • User account control appears when the is not necessary.

    The user account control appears everytime I open Windows Live Mail. How can I stop this, but retain control of active user account when needed on the other actions of the computer?   Thank you

    Hi JosephDoherty,

    UAC (User Account Control) notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions.

    You can try to change UAC settings and see if it helps.

    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

    Important: Turn on UAC after you complete the steps.

    For more information, you can consult the following articles:

    How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the slider?

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Why User Account Control allow me on IE without permission after resetting IE

    A few days ago I couldn't get on the Internet because IE would not work and internet connection was ok so out of desperation I did a reset of the EI. It still does not work then a member of the family came and got it works, but now I get the popup to permission to the user account control every time that I log on the desktop by clicking the shortcut of IE.  I went into the folder security and disabled UAC and now I only get this popup whenever I click on the desktop IE. This never used popup lights up when clicking on the shortcut of IE, so something must have happened when I did the reset Internet Explorer.  Does anyone know how to keep control of user account for all but IE?

    I have a feeling that I accidentally changed a setting on IE and probably should not have an IE reset.but now the problem is that I like to keep the popup of User Account Control permission for everyone, but the IE shortcut on my desktop.

    Furthermore, family member right clicking on the desktop for IE shortcut and did something with run as administrator to get IE working again.

    My nephew looked at the problem that I had some time ago, but I told him to forget it because he really didn't have time to work on it. I just kept off UAC all these months and had no problems I do not download anything that I'm not sure. However, a few days ago I went back to this problem. I tried checking with the Compatibility tab, and as said above "Run as Administrator" was unchecked. This time I went to the contextual on properties of Internet Explorer and click on Advanced tab. Then I unchecked the run as Administrator box and I went back and UAC enabled and everything works well. Without UAC popups more!  I also did this for the exchange of information in the start menu and on the Quick Launch bar. For some reason any one on the keyboard had worked this time (he had not earlier) without a popup UAC even before I made the changes.  This is exactly what made me do some exploring more to see if I could get the other IE shortcuts to work.

    I believe that another Member of my family who had helped me to get IE to work when I had problems to make on the internet even after a reset IE active the option "Run as Administrator". He has not been bothered by the popup and said if I was annoyed by it just turn off like he said I had a very good program antivirus (Norton) installed on my computer and it always warns you if a program you want to install is safe or not safe.

    Hope this might help someone else who may have this problem.
