The good looking interface doesn’t seems to work for me as it still keep prompting me action whenever a new app/software to install/uninstall. The better way to turn it off all for once is at control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy On the left pane, browse for Local Policies -> Security Options Scroll to the bottom and you will find a list of User Account Control related settings. Don’t ask me what they do and how it affect when disable/enabled it, you can click the item and read at explanation tab. Yes, it is complicated and it’s just another god damn things that M$ did to makes everyone life miserable. Please take note your metro app will get affected after turning UAC off in this method. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/60d3a7af-cd21-4ea4-ac97-ebfab2aa6ed4/apps-not-allowed-when-uac-is-disabled?forum=w8itprogeneral
