UAC Tweak: Small Utility to Tweak UAC (User Account Control) Settings in Windows

Microsoft has added a new feature “User Account Control (UAC)” in Windows Vista and later which is a good addition. It prevents malicious programs to install in your system as well as it also prevents basic users to accidentally change system critical settings which can be harmful to the system.

Although it’s a good feature but sometimes it becomes annoying to experienced users who know what they are doing with their system. So if you also find UAC prompts annoying, then here is a very small but excellent utility “UAC Tweak” made by our friend “Tom” which can easily turn off UAC or can set the UAC settings to High, Medium, Low so that you get less annoying UAC prompts.
