Vista - UAC per user?

Hello all...

I am just wondering, is it possible to leave UAC fully enabled for some
users, and either greatly reduced, or off for other uses?

Or is the best option along these lines simply to set up some users as
standard and some as Administrators?

Thanks in advance,
Arthur Dent.

No. UAC is on/off globally. Yes, you should set up users as Standard
whenever possible and have a few Administrators.

I have my towel. ;-)

That''s what a thought... i guess you can set up the Admins, and then just
set that secpol setting for "always treat admins as elevated" or whatever it
is called.... and thatd be the closest you'd get. Alright, thanks!

Hang on to that towel.... never know when it will come in handy!!!
(some one GOT it!! )

Whoa! I didn't know that was an option.

LOL Thanks. :-)
