TweakUAC for Windows Vista

User Access Control (UAC) is probably the most hated feature of Windows Vista - if you want to really call it a "feature." Upgrading to Vista, every application you use or install "needs your permission to continue," and you have to click "allow" or "deny" a thousand times in order to get anything done. Unfortunately, you're left with a horrible choice: you can either disable UAC entirely, and forfeit the protection it offers, or keep it active and suffer through the waves of dialog boxes with every installation. TweakUAC offers a solution to this conundrum.

The application is free, and allows you to temporarily disable and enable UAC at will, so if you're going to be doing a lot of application installations or if you're rebuilding your system, you can use the app to suppress the dialogs while you work. Best of all, turning on "quiet mode" doesn't require a reboot, so you can continue working, without being bothered.

When you're finished your installations, you can open TweakUAC again to turn UAC back on. TweakUAC is a stand-alone app, meaning you can take it with you from computer to computer, (especially good on a USB key, if you're an IT system administrator) and it doesn't need to be installed on the target computer.
