Of course you can turn off UAC, but i hope you are aware, that turning it completely off will also turn off several Windows security features like the protected mode of the Internet Explorer for example. IE will no longer run in a sandbox environment, when you disable UAC completely.

I strongly advise you not to disable UAC completely. At least set it to the lowest level. I was just going to change my UAC not to dim the screen when I saw that this can cause security issues.

Thanks for clearing things up! I do not recommend disabling UAC because UAC is related to the windows security and anything that changes or minimizes security of the system is bad. The comments about not disabling security are just plain stupid and written by those that buy into the hype and lies or get paid by those that make the hype and lies.

Having a machine to run code for a specific purpose that is not connected to the Internet and is easily restored via an image is a valid reason to not have these annoyances. Anyone telling you otherwise or even suggesting that these controls are there for your benefit, without an easy way to turn them completely of is lying to you and or has no idea what they are talking about.

Once a program gets root permissions, it is all over period. I have a 15GB d drive which has all the user settings stuff and other things like document or junk I put there which means that what I lose when I restore windows is extremely minimal with only a few programs losing their settings and I can update the windows image when I make large changes that take time to apply, or just keep a supply of reg-patches in a folder on the d drive to apply.

The best security really is you doing your job as a computer administrator. System backups only when things are changed on the system drive; but keep backups of everything you might consider important because you never know when something can happen. This is frustrating.
