| Guest | User Account Control I am trying to disable UAC on a more permanent basis than just turning it off as Windows Defender will turn it back on. I am using this script: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f in order to actually turn UAC off. I am running it in Task Scheduler and it does turn UAC off. However, it requires a second boot to apply it. This takes too long so I am looking for a script that tests if UAC is on or off and re-boots only if it is on. I tried a second batch file to run upon logon to reboot (shutdown -r -t 0) but I got into a perpetual reboot situation which required an Acronis restore to get out of. Any idea how to get the second boot only if UAC is turned on? I don't need the aggravation of UAC as I am the sole user and depend on my daily Acronis backups to resolve any problems that might occur by turning it off. |

| Guest | RE: User Account Control Is there a reason just opening the User Accounts control panel and clicking "Turn User Account Control on or off" would not work for you? --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Wildcat" wrote: Quote: > I am trying to disable UAC on a more permanent basis than just turning it > off as Windows Defender will turn it back on.
