This guide works on Windows 7 - build 7000 (public beta)
This guide should be read and performed before you perform any other guide on this page, this is because Windows 7 will remove changes to systemfiles on reboot, unless ofcourse, if we disable that function, so that our changes will be permanent!
Lets get started... Shall we?
In brief steps, we want to remove SYSTEM RESTORE and UAC (User Account Control) in Windows 7 so in order to do, we go ahead and find the Control Panel.
It is where it always are, at Start - Controlpanel
TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE:
Now click the "All Control Panel Items" at the bottom right and you will be able to find eveything I say we need...
1. Then find the "System" icon and click that...
2. On the left side of the screen click the "System Protection" link
3. A new box will appear, make sure its tab says "system protection" as you see on the picture.
4. Find your Windows 7 drive (the C: drive) and select it
5. Press the "Configure" button and then a new dialog will pop up. Under "restore settings" choose "Turn off system protection" and press OK (and then OK again)
6. You will now see that you are asked to REBOOT, please do so now...
You have now disabled System Restore and Windows 7 will no longer restore the files that you choose to change or edit.... This is very nice when doing the things we do in this blog!
TURN OFF UAC (User Account Settings)
1. Go to your Control panel again and find "Action Center" and double-click that icon.
2. Then in the menu on the left side, click the "User Account Control Settings" link.
3. Drag the slider all the way down to "Never Notify" and then press OK.
4. If asked to restart your computer, please do so now...
You have now successfully disabled the UAC (User Account Control) and you are free to edit most files...
If you later encounter NTFS locked files, then all guides will demonstrate how to open those files, if you need to...
Sincerely, AlexData
