After reading a few edit windows registry help articles I decided to do modify the registry manually. I was able to successfully follow instructions which is why the Permission Security Prompts were already gone 🙂

Good tip but doing this leaves many users very vulnerable to malware. A nag yes. But it is a nag that has done a lot to keep malware from silently installing.

I don’t know if anyone reading this realizes the obvious: This is HUGE plus for the intermediate to advanced Windows user. Those nag screens absolutely killed me when I first started using Vista. Fortunately for me, I got help with a script someone @ work coded for me to take care of the problem. Let me tell you, for the average user, this is more of a viable option. I am also a proponent of TweakUAC: It literally tricks the OS into thinking it’s still doing it’s job, but by suppressing the alerts for admins (which is key in this day and age), so we can go about our business with our daily activities on the computer without having to deal with that. Besides, who would want someone who had no computer knowledge to be poking around their computer anyway unless one has a limited account set up for them, right?

This isn’t a good thing to do if you’re setting up a pc for a “user”. those prompts while annoying to us save them from all sorts of malware
