Fed up with UAC permissions ? Then this may help.

First thing to do is activate the admin account, to do this do the following, allow any\all security prompts while doing this, and do not type the quote marks, they are only to signify what you need to type:-
Click on Start - Search
Type "cmd"
Right click on cmd (it appears at the top of the window) then select 'Run as administrator' from the options
In the black DOS box type the following at the command line: "Net user administrator activate:yes" then hit enter\return.

That will activate the admin account, so now log off from your normal account and you should find the admin account as an account option, click on that to log into that account, once in it set up a strong password, use a mix of upper\lower case and characters and numbers etc, the longer the better (within reason), just make sure you remember what this password is or you will be stuffed if you need to get back in at a future point, but you need to do this to protect the account.

Now thats all really, all you do from here on is any programs your installing that always pester you for UAC permission each time try installing them from this admin account (obviously uninstall from the other account first), once installed log back into your normal account and see if it's worked, as I said my experience has been patchy at best due to being riddled with so many hardware faults etc, but the program I did find this worked on (sometimes anyway) was SUPERAntiSpyware, I really got fed up with that needing permission to run every time I booted, and this seemed to work and allowed it to run without the nag screen, I can only hope it helps as I haven't been able to check more thoroughly, but thought it worth posting in the hope it does help given users may resort to turning off the UAC, hope it helps.
