How to Turn Off User Account Control (UAC) in Window 7

User Account Control (UAC) is a technology and security infrastructure introduced by Microsoft to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase or elevation. Therefore, only applications trusted by the user may receive administrative privileges, and malware should be kept from compromising the operating system. 

User Account Control
But, sometimes UAC is kinda irritating. So, to turn off or disable the UAC, you can do that by going to Control Panel > User Accounts.


Then, click on the Change User Account Control settings. Drag the indicator to the very bottom (indicating 'Never notify').
 


Click OK. You can choose to restart or you can do that later.

Notes: If you want to turn it back on, just drag the indicator to the Default setting. 


Tested OS: Window 7 Professional (x32-bit)
