"The requested operation requires elevation" | Windows VISTA

You get the prompt The requested operation requires elevation. This is part of the User Account Control (UAC) feature of Windows Vista that controls the program execution as normal user, administrator or other user types with different access control. You will get this prompt because that program will need to be run as administrator. The quick way to fix it is re-run by right clicking the program and select Run as administrator.



If you don't like this UAC feature, you can disable it as follows:

1) Go to Start -> Control Panel, then click on User Accounts and Family Safety.

2) Click on User Accounts.

3) Click Turn User Account Control on or off in User Accounts window.

Note: If you are using Control Panel in classic view mode, you can come to this page by going to Start ->Control Panel -> User Accounts.



4) Uncheck Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer and click OK at last.

Note: You need to to restart the computer in order to disable the UAC feature successfully.
