| Guest | Norton UAC Tool for Vista I normally don't do this, and I have *never* recommended "anything" from Norton/Symantec - but - I have installed this on a test box and it does exactly as it states. It builds a white list of UAC prompts that you can "Allow Always". Read about it and download it from Beta News here: http://www.betanews.com/article/New_...ack/1223668881 -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience |

| Guest | Re: Norton UAC Tool for Vista I am not saying where it would be good for. I am just saying it is available. There have been thousands grousing about Vista over the past year and one half because of UAC Now they have lost their ammunition. Use this tool, or not. It's is the individuals choice. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Tom W." <TomWij@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1A9CE4C7-6574-4C7F-8164-3944A5938475@xxxxxx

Vista has two access tokens assigned to it. One access token is for admin full rights. The other token assigned is Standard rights , which is the default. So you are user/admin with only Standard user rights to begin with until the moment of privileged escalation, and then user/admin is escalated to use the admin full rights token at the moment of escalation, and then, user/admin is returned to the standard user token. So, you're Standard user with UAC enabled 99.9% of the time it would seem. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc709691.aspx If anyone cares to read the links, one would see that there is more going on behind the scene with UAC to protect the O/S other than some user approving or disapproving something at a prompt. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/m.../cc138019.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/m.../cc160882.aspx | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
