You do not want to do this, really.

But in the case you want to loose the security you can on choice:

  1. Change permission on C:\ drive property, security tab and ask for recursive.
  2. Disable the UAC control as documented here

But I do not advise to do this.

EDIT: edited link for windows 7

there is UAC control as described in 2. (it's for vista I have windows 7) I do have "Change User account control settings" with a slider, that i moved to the bottom. – noam Mar 15 '11 at 11:27
what should I change exactly in 1? – noam Mar 15 '11 at 11:28

I strongly discourage you from changing folder permissions, because this will make it possible for any person, application, virus or mistake to effectively destroy your Windows installation. Similarly, trusted software in the Program Files directory may be altered without notifying you. If you want to perform changes to a directory within Program Files, do so through an application with elevated privileges. (For instance, if you need to edit a text file, run Notepad as administrator.) – Paul Lammertsma Mar 15 '11 at 11:31
Linked updated. 1. is just if you don't have the permission on the files, but I think it does not disable the UAC, and you will still be prompted for confirmation. – M'vy Mar 15 '11 at 11:32

Please also see this TechNet discussion. If you understand the ramifications, and you are sure you want to break your Windows installation, see this article. Again, I urge you not to do this. – Paul Lammertsma Mar 15 '11 at 13:34
