This is on a new laptop I bought to use programming car computers. It will never be used on the internet or a network. No antivirus/firewall needs to be installed. I remember doing this temporarily on my PC running Vista a few years ago but I don't remember how I did it. Is the proceedure the same in Windows 7?
Thanks for any help!

About doing this previously, I may be thinking of turning on net user administrator via command prompt. I researched my post history and found out how to do that. Works the same for Windows 7 as it does for Vista (although I won't post the proceedure for the novice users sake).
But the instructions included with my programming software list "Turn Off User Account Control". I must do this in order to run the '.exe' installation files for my software.

That ought to do it. If you're running as admin then you won't get any uac prompts. You will have unrestricted access to everything.
See here if you still want to turn uac off:

Really? You can't just right click and run as administrator?

Here's a convenient little app. Rather than disable UAC, just run it in quiet mode: http://www.tweak-uac.com/home/

The 2nd link Google Finds. That is amazing. The first one being Turn off UAC for Vista. Not sure why more people don't use that powerful tool we call Google Search!
