• User account control interrupts applications full screen

  Programs to auto-update the user account control has a tendency to arise and minimizing applications full screen such as movies or video games.

Is it possible to make may have to wait in the background for me to finish what I'm doing and deal with him and prevent him from minimize applications full screen?

  Hi Bob,

  This behavior of user account control is by design, and you can change it by adjusting the parameters of the UAC.

  User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

  By default, UAC is set to warn you as soon as apps try to make changes to your PC, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.

  Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

• User account control problems

  MY ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DELETED SOMEHOW. WHEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT IS OPEN AND WE ARE TRYING TO REMOVE A PROGRAM OR START SYSTEM RESTORE THE USER ACCOUNT CONTROL BOX NOW COMES UP TO ASK PERMISSION TO CONTINUE. WE CANNOT ENTER ANY PASSWORD. USER ACCOUNT CONTROL IS TURN OFF MY COMPUTER. HELP PLEASE!

  The first thing to try is go to Safe Mode to see if the disabled built-in Administrator account normally is now available. Enter Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Use your arrow key to select Safe mode, and then press the Enter key. If you see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen, log into this account and make your changes. Follow the recommendations for setting up the accounts of user below.

  If you do not see an icon for the administrator mode without failure, post back for further instructions.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• Excel and user account control

  I have a shortcut to an Excel spreadsheet saved on my desktop.  I use is ever day.  Everytime I open it I have to click Yes on the popup screen that asks do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer.  How can I keep my UAC control level but allow Excel spent?

  UAC should not contest an Excel file, if the system is working properly.  I have my UAC set to top & I use Excel files without any problem.

  You will probably get better help in MS Office Excel forum but do these controls first:

  1 Excel open other files correctly?

  2. If you open Excel, and then use to open the file, it opens correctly?

  3 don't Excel file containing the macros auto_open affecting the system that is running this macro the thing that is called into question?  [this idea may be rejected if check 2 books - and I doubt that it in any case, you have mentioned]

  4 check the properties of this shortcut.  Right-click on it, select Properties, click the Advanced button.  You have the checkbox for run as administrator?  If so just, clear the check box, or just create a new shortcut to the file in Excel.

  I guess that check 4 will solve your problem, but if not, see if the users Office Forum can help you further.

• How to force the display of user account control to run the scheduled task

  I have User Account Control setting on notify me when a program wants to make changes to my computer (the recommended setting).

  I created a scheduled task: create a restore point, using a software called Quick Restore Maker. User accounts in the program control screen comes up and stays on, ends by closes but ends the program. As I'm not at the computer when running task, I can't cancel the screen. The display ends by disappears, but the program itself does not run.

  So the question is: How can I force screen UAC a program to run without changing the UAC universal computer settings that would allow any program to change my computer without any intervention from me?

  Thanks for your help.

  There is no way around the need for approval of Admin indicated by the parameter of the UAC.

  Reduce the level of UAC would be the only thing you can try, but I understand that this would not be a safe way to proceed for normal operation.

• Get fast user account control

  Original title: a shortcut, I have long used now I request "do allow you the following program to make changes to this computer?" when I click it. How is this happen and how do I do stop asking me?

  Here's the situation:

  (1) I have a shortcut icon for "go to my pc" on my desktop. I could always click here and download my login screen (I use Gotomypc daily for work).

  (2) recently my updates Windows upgraded my IE 9 to 10 IE without asking to tell me. I didn't like it and it wasn't compatible with my printer, so I came here, discovered how to get rid of the upgrade and re - download the previous version.

  (3) I wanted to avoid leaving Windows pass me again, so I fiddled around so that Windows has asked me before it updated again.

  I don't really know what I was doing, I was just trying my best. I'm not really all that tech savvy.

  (4) now, whenever I click on my thumb for the icon of my pc, a message appears asking "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer? It says 'User Account Control' on the top bar, it pings and I have to click Yes to continue. This annoys me and I can't understand what it takes to make it go back to the way it was. I also note that the icon has a small checkered blue top and yellow badge which did not previously exist.

  (5) I tried to remove the shortcut icon, and download it again, but it just comes back the same way.

  Please help - tell me what I need to do to remove the icon for this control of user account control. I am the 'administrator', why can't tell it what to do?

  PS - I didn't know really what "about Windows" to choose! This is probably in the wrong place...

  I have Windows 7. For the last 2 weeks, when I go to Firefox on my user account control window appears and asks "do allow you the following program to make changes to this computer?

  I say Yes. This happens whenever I click on the Firefox logo. How can I avoid what ODM?

  Hi zamler, sorry for the response not related.

  I don't know what are the causes that...

  If you right-click on the icon > properties > Compatibility tab, can you ensure that "run this program as an administrator" is unchecked?

• After that Win7 SP1 firefox Gets a user account control prompt every time I open it.

  After installing the windows 7 service pack 1 update, whenever Firefox is started I am invited guest UAC (User Account Control) to ask my permission because he will try to make changes. My UAC setting is enabled by default and reinstall the latest version of Firefox (3.6.13) does not alleviate the problem.

  Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.
  
  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
  
  In the Compatibility tab, make sure that this level of privilege: "Run this program as an administrator" is not selected.
  
  You should also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

• 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.

  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.
