Question Solved: UAC too controlling...
Even though I keep disabling it, UAC comes on again when I restart, maybe I missed some "save configuration" button, but I did hit "apply" before closing User Accounts in the control panel. Even when I have UAC disabled, I keep getting alerts that it's off and I should turn it on. It's maddening. I live here alone, there is nobody here but myself trying to make changes to my computer. I have a strong security suite, it blocks changes from outside my home.
I don't use email on my own computer, I use web mail.
Is there a way to stop UAC from driving me nuts? I want it gone...

Thanks for your help in advance.

Shoshana

Also in Security Center, Control Panel on the left side choose "change how security center alerts me" to don't alert me.

Thank you both so much, I'm all set and free of the nuisance! At least, I appear to be free of it, LOL, it's been so persistent that I half think it will reappear in a few reboots... (just kidding).
So, Unbidden and Rich-M, you're my heroes!
Appreciatively,
Shoshana
