Enable Windows Vista UAC quiet mode

It is really a pain when you want to do something with Windows Vista, it will prompts you “Windows needs your permission to continue”. Instead of disable it and leave your Windows Vista unprotected, you can enable the User Account Control (UAC) quiet mode.

There is two ways for you to enable the quiet mode function. First, with this TweakUAC tool or via the registry. I talk about the TweakUAC first.

TweakUAC is a nice simple tool that will allow you to set whether you want to enable UAC, disable UAC or enable UAC in quiet mode. No installation is required just double click and run it. Just simple like ABC.

If you want to feel like a Windows Vista geek, you can enable the UAC quiet mode from the registry. Open up Registry Editor (Run > regedit) and go to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
“ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin”

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
“ConsentPromptBehaviorUser”

Set the value from 2 to 0. This will enable the UAC quiet mode.
