Re: User Account Control (UAC) - Elevate Privilege Level

Okay is there a guide you would recommend I use so I ca set things up as I described? What I want to do is just create one account with Admin power but without any sort of password being required when I boot into Vista Home Premium.

After you have created a password for your administrator account, you can setup Vista to logon automatically to that account. The built-in Administrator account has full control like the one you were use to in XP.

Re: User Account Control (UAC) - Elevate Privilege Level

ARRG!! Trying to wrap my head around this and still having problems understanding things. Here's what I want to do:

1. Create a user log/account in of say "Monkeyboy" that doesnt require me to enter a user password

2. Grant "Monkeyboy" complete administraitive access like one can do in XP. Thus not requiring UAC box from poping open when I do stuff.

Sounds like I would have to jump thru some hoops to do this. Or am I making things more complicated than need be?

Hi Bratboy,

Have you installed yet? If not , see STEP 2 of this tutorial. Just enter the username Monkeyboy, leave the password boxes blank, click a picture and click next.

Clean Install with a Full Version of Vista

This should then logon automatically without having to enter anything

I use this to control UAC - it's beta so use at your own risk, but I have had no problems with it.

You may feel that is safer than using the built in Administrator account.

Hope it helps

Re: User Account Control (UAC) - Elevate Privilege Level

Hi Shawn.... I have this Dell computer with Home Basic in it. Got scared to do anything with it when the issues re updates broke out and the Windows Update made a mess of the updating process. I just recently discovered your site and taking my first steps to fix/reclaim my machine. Thanks a lot!!!
