Customize UAC in Windows 7

Here you can select when to notify or bring the UAC prompt. There are 4 levels of security which includes:
  •  Always Notify
  •  Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer
  •  Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop)
  •  Never Notify
Select them according to your balance between security and desktop experience and adjust the level of UAC prompt. Any change to the level of the UAC will prompt for confirmation.
