Note: A GetFaxing.com Technical Support representative may ask you to change this setting to “Never Notify” during your Remote Session. This is required because UAC prevents the remote access connection from making any changes to FaxTalk software. Changing this option temporarily to “Never Notify” allows the technician to make the necessary changes to FaxTalk as required. It is suggested after the Remote Session is completed, you should change this setting back to the default “Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer.” setting.

There are four UAC settings that you can choose from.

Always notify 

Select this setting if you:

• Always want to be notified when programs try to install software or make chanegs to your computer
• Make changes to Windows settings.

Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer (This is the default setting)

Select this setting if you:

• Want to be notified only when programs try to make changes to your computer.
• Don't want to be notified when you make changes to Windows settings.

Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop) 

Select this setting if you:

• Want to be notified only when programs try to make changes to your computer without the desktop being dimmed.
• Don't want to be notified when you make changes to Windows settings.

Never notify (Disable UAC)   <---- Choose this option prior to your remote session.

Select this setting if you:
