Tips Configure Windows Vista
-1--------------------------------------------
Configuring UAC
To configure UAC options, either run 'Local Security Policy' from Admistrative Tools, or enter secpol.msc in the Start Menu Search Bar and press Enter.
1.1. Disable switching to the Secure Desktop for UAC prompts:
Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options ->
User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation - Set to Disabled
Now, when you get UAC prompts, the screen won't go grey, the UAC prompts will use the Aero theme, and you can still operate many other programs without needing to respond to the UAC prompt:
1.2. Change UAC behaviour
Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options ->
User Account Control: Behaviour of the elevation prompt....
You can configure UAC to either:
(Administrators:)
- Elevate without prompting
- Prompt for Consent
- Prompt for Credentials
(Standard Users):
- Prompt for Credentials
- Automatically deny elevation requests.
Using this setting, you can control how much of an intrusion UAC is without completely turning it off.

Disable Security Center Notifications
To disable the red or yellow icon in the tray and the balloon notifications (Such as "UAC Is Turned Off" or "No Anti-Virus Detected") Go to the Control Panel. Now go to Security and then Security Center. Now in the left side panel you will see "Change the way Security Center alerts me". In the window that opens up, select "Do not notifiy me and do not display the icon"

Quick Find a program in the Start Menu
To quickly find a program in the start menu, just type in the first few charaters of the program's name in the Search Bar located at the bottom of the new start menu. Then, the program which closest resembles the characters you entered will be automatically selected. In this example, I have searched for notepad by only entering the first few characters:
