Disabling UAC Secure Desktop on Windows Vista Home Edition

This people acting as if it's their first time using Microsoft Product. They're complaining about Vista's UAC (User Account Control). Disabling it is not a good idea, but we can still minimize the annoying effect of secure desktop by disabling it (I suggest you to keep using UAC because it can improve the security).

Here are steps to disable UAC Secure Desktop:

  1. Click Start -> Run type “regedit”

  2. Go to key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

  3. Find a key PromptOnSecureDesktop and modify the value into 0

  4. Restart your computer


And the Secure Desktop won't be there when the UAC popped-up.

  2. IMHO, as long as our computers are protected with AV and we know what we're doing we don't need that UAC. But it won't hurt if we enable it though.
