Disabling UAC not recommended....

Cnt F11 lets you take SS, it doesn't let you see them, UAC basically a dumb funtion that blocks the admin from having total admin rights. However, the way it's setup it is a security function...still 90% of players cut the dang thing off because it interferes with every app you run. I have it off since it came out, no problems. You have more risk of others on you PC screwing you up because they can use your PC as a admin...just don't let them on it. Obvious you want to make sure you have any file sharing option turned off which is a standard setting. Just keep turds off your PC. If you're not gaming for periods of time and feel safer, just cut it on, takes a few seconds either way. Yep, it leaves you more vunerable to malware and viruses, but good security software takes care of that. You're more likely to get malware or viruses through other functions anyway. Considering the pain, I leave it off, because it interferes with about 20 apps I run.
I will admit if I had my banking on my PC or important info, I would leave it on more than off. Course I always hit the off button on my modem when I leave.
There are lots of articles on the net to try and tweak it and work arounds, but I ain't found one that really worked.
