2. For the Choose when to be notified about changes to your computer option, drag the slide bar to the bottom (Never notify).
3. When you disable the User Account Control, reboot your computer.

1. From the Windows Explorer view, navigate to the specified backup destination.
2. Right-click on the backup destination folder, select Properties, and click the Security tab.
3. Click Edit and Add a user for this destination folder.
