If you like UAC but would like to make it more like the MAC version, in that it doesn't blackout your screen and prevent access to your other applications, here is how to do it.

Here is how you can change that:
To get to the configuration screen for this, type in security to the start menu search box. You should see the Local Security Policy as the top search item.
In the Local Security Policy window, browse down to Local Policies \ Security Options
Over in the right hand part of the window, scroll down near the bottom and find the item titled “User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation”
Double-click on the item, and change it to disabled and then click OK.
Note: This does make your system slightly less secure, so be warned.
For Windows Home users, you will need to open up regedit via the start menu search box. Browse down to this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System]
You should see a key called PromptOnSecureDesktop. Double-click this and change the value to 0

Be warned however that this will slightly reduce your security but it is a better solution than turning UAC off completely.
