Re: Disable UAC

I would try running the programs to see how it goes, after disabling UAC,
rather than uninstalling them. In most cases, your programs will continue
to work, but you may have to reconfigure personal settings, etc., within
each program, because it may appear that your programs "forgot" your
settings. It might return to the default settings of the programs. It will
remember your settings, again, but not store the information in
Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files, but create,
probably, a new User data folder under the Users\Username\AppData\Local
folder.
