Disable UAC in Windows 7 Picture 1 In Windows 7, UAC settings are divided into several levels, allowing you to have more security options for your computer:

Always notify - With this option, you will receive a notification before any program changes or when Windows settings need to be an administrator to confirm. When receiving this setting notification, the desktop will be disabled until you confirm or not confirm on the UAC dialog box.

Không xác định bạn chỉ khi chương trình thử thử tạo các thay đổi để my computer - You will receive a notification before the program changes on the computer that needs administrator rights. With this setting you will not receive a notification if you change Windows settings that require administrative rights. In addition, you will receive a notification if a program other than Windows tries to change Windows settings. This is the default level

Notify me only khi chương trình thử tạo các thay đổi với my computer (do not dim my desktop) - Set this level to be the same as above, but it has another thing that the desktop is not disabled, other programs can still work when the notification dialog window appears. This is an option with poor security if you are actually running a malicious program.

Never notify - You will not receive any notifications before any activity needs administrative rights on this computer. If you are accessing with administrator rights, all activities are possible, and if you are a normal user, some activities related to administrative rights will be rejected. Selecting this setting in Windows 7 means that the security level is the same as normal Windows XP, meaning that this is the lowest level of security.

2, Disable UAC via Group Policy

This is the method that administrators often use to disable UAC on some computers in the network.

You can do it through Local Group Policy or Active Directory-based GPO

If you use Local Group Policy you need to open Group Policy Editor ( Start > Run > gpedit.msc ).

If using AD-based GPO, open the Group Policy Management Console ( Start > Run > gpmc.msc ) from a Windows Vista / 7/2008 computer belonging to a domain. In the GPMC window, browsing to the GPO is required to have an OU or domain connection, where you can edit or even create a new GPO.
