Hello guys

I have vista home premium, and i would like to know if you can get "TweakUAC" to work on a standard account.

Looking at the TweakUAC properties, on the sercurity tab > Advanced > permissions, my user name on the standard account, says " not inheirited "

Can i get these permissions from the admin account, inheirited to my user account.

Or is all this down to group policy, which i dont have....:confused:

Hello d3aths3rver


This may sound like a stupid question, but what does this actually do.
Would i still have the "standard account" only with administrative rights..

Also, i use the "hidden" admin account, so i am not sure if havingTweakUAC would make any difference to this, if this is the case.

Only if someone else is using the computer, i could turn UAC back on.if i am using the standard account with administrative rights.
Does that make any sence d3aths3rver...:cool:

EDIT

Just had a look in computer management in the admin account, there is no option for user accounts..

Yeah, i have had this problem before when i was trying to do something else, i still carn't find user accounts, are you sure this is included with the home versions.

I have just done a quick search
Here's a quote from another forum,

Just like the XP Home versions, the Vista Home versions do not include the
management console snap-ins like local users and groups.
