Disable User Account Control
Keywords:
Windows Vista uses a feature called User Account Control or UAC to limit the privileges of regular user accounts. UAC ensures that all user accounts that are not part of the local administrators group run with no administrative privileges. This feature is enabled by default. However, in some situations you may want to disable it and there are multiple ways that you can accomplish this. One method is by using Registry.
To disable UAC through the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System[EnableLUA]
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Disable UAC |
| 1 | Enable UAC |
You MUST Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
Note: On Vista HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE only grants KEY_WRITE to administrators and SYSTEM Accounts. An application that requests KEY_WRITE to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE will not work with UAC enabled. Reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480150.aspx
