How do you disable it?

I didn’t know that’s what those dialog boxes were....but I hate them.

Dang it, I have a firewall on my router and Norton 360. I don’t need to wait for that dang box to pop up just to do anything.

You have to logon as the core local machine administrator (because until UAC is turned off no other “administrator” has the authority) go to Control Panel, User Accounts, then you’ll be on a seemingly useless screen but the second item (first one with a shield, indicating it’s security related) should be a link that says Turn User Account Control on or off, click that, the next screen has a check box, uncheck it, hit OK, it’ll request a reboot, and after that your administrators will actually be able to administrate. Of course that also means they’ll be able to install viruses, but that’s the chance we take.
