This is my way (since Vista): - Just after finished installation of Windows (Vista/7), go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools ==> Local Security Policy ==> Local Policies ==> Security Options - Look for the top right, you will see Accounts: Administrator Account Status - Change it from Disable to Enable. This will help you log-on to Administrator account but not your name's account with administration rights. - Delete your name's account or leave it if you prefer. I myself delete it and use the only Administrator account, thus I never have any mater with UAC.
