This will show you how to change the User Account Control (UAC) for when to be notified about changes to your computer. For more detailed information about UAC, see:
When turned on, User Account Control helps prevent potentially harmful programs from making changes to your computer in Windows 7 by notifying and asking you for permission before letting the program run or install.
- Go to Start and search for UAC.
- Once done searching click Change User Account Control Settings.
- If prompted by UAC, click on Yes to approve.
- Adjust the slider to the level of protection of how much you want to be notified from UAC. (See screenshots below)
- Click on OK when done.

- If prompted by UAC, click on Yes to approve.
- If you have just turned UAC off, then you will need to click on restart the computer to apply the changes.
NOTE: Simply turning on UAC or changing the UAC level without turning it off will not require a restart.
