Disable Vista User Account Control

Windows Vista is Microsoft’s next operating system after its highly successful predecessor, Windows XP. I bought an OEM copy of Windows Vista Home Premium a few months ago alongside some computer hardware that were meant for a pc upgrade. As expected, the installation was a breeze, but there is a security feature in Windows Vista that made me felt uneasy, which is the User Account Control that pops-up every time you want to install or run an application.
So, how to disable the User Account Control in Windows Vista?Here are the solutions that I’ve tested to be successfully working:
Method 1 : Using msconfig utility
1.Go to run/start search menu. Type in “msconfig” (without quotes) and press enter run the utility.2.Click on Tools tab. Click on Disable UAC and then “Launch”. A command prompt window will open stating that the operation has completed successfully.3.Restart your computer.
Method 2 : Using Control Panel
1.From start menu, go to Control Panel2.Click on Add/Remove User Account3.Click on “go to the main User Account page” link.4.Click on Turn User Account Control on or off. Unchecked the check box that will appear next.5.Reboot your computer.

3- Set Up a Wireless Home Network

1. Choose a convenient location to begin installing your router such as an open floor space or table.


2. Plug in the router's electrical power source, then turn on the router by pushing the power button



3. (Optional) Connect your Internet modem to the router. Most network modems connect via an Ethernet cable but USB connections are becoming increasingly common. The cable plugs into the router jack named "WAN" or "uplink" or "Internet." After connecting the cable, be sure to power cycle (turn off and turn back on) the modem to ensure the router recognizes it.


4. Connect one computer to the router. Even if the router is a wireless model, connect this first computer to the router via a network cable.


5. Open the router's administration tool. From the computer connected to the router, first open your Web browser. Then enter the router's address for network administration in the Web address field and hit return to reach the router's home page.



6. Many routers are reached by either the Web address "http://192.168.1.1" or "http://192.168.0.1" Consult your router's documentation to determine the exact address for your model. Note that you do not need a working Internet connection for this step.



7. Log in to the router. The router's home page will ask you for a username and password. Both are provided in the router's documentation. You should change the router's password for security reasons, but do this after the installation is complete to avoid unnecessary complications during the basic setup.




8. If you want your router to connect to the Internet, you must enter Internet connection information into that section of the router's configuration (exact location varies). If using DSL Internet, you may need to enter the PPPoE username and password. Likewise, if you have been issued a static IP address by your provider (you would need to have requested it), the static IP fields (including network mask and gateway) given to you by the provider must also must be set in the router.




9. If you were using a primary computer or an older network router to connect to the Internet, your provider may require you to update the MAC address of the router with the MAC address of the device you were using previously. Read How to Change a MAC Address for a detailed description of this process.




10. If this is a wireless router, change the network name (often called SSID). While the router comes to you with a network name set at the factory, you will never want to use this name on your network. Read How to Change the Router SSID for detailed instructions.





11. Verify the network connection is working between your one computer and the router. To do this, you must confirmed that the computer has received IP address information from the router. See How to Find IP Addresses for a description of this process.






12. Verify your one computer can connect to the Internet properly



13. Connect additional computers to the router as needed. If connecting wirelessly, ensure the network name (SSID) of each is computer matches that of the router



14. Finally, configure additional network security features as desired to guard your systems against Internet attackers

2- Benefits of Home Networking

1. file sharing - Network file sharing between computers gives you more flexibity than using floppy drives or Zip drives. Not only can you share photos, music files, and documents, you can also use a home network to save copies of all of your important data on a different computer. Backups are one of the most critical yet overlooked tasks in home networking.
2. printer / peripheral sharing - Once a home network is in place, it's easy to then set up all of the computers to share a single printer. No longer will you need to bounce from one system or another just to print out an email message. Other computer peripherals can be shared similarly such as network scanners, Web cams, and CD burners.
3. Internet connection sharing - Using a home network, multiple family members can access the Internet simultaneously without having to pay an ISP for multiple accounts.

1- Typical Wireless Network .

If you're still using a dial-up modem to access the Internet, it's time to consider broadband. Depending on where you live, you can have a cable or ADSL/DSL . A cable solution uses a cable modem such as the Motorola SB4200 SURF board to connect to an access point, such as those used for cable TV. On the other hand, an ADSL/DSL modem uses the phone line to connect to the Internet
