Disable UAC Windows 7
I was annoyed after a upgrade to Windows 7 on a workstation machine, in order to do anything , you have to "approve the action" because of the UAC (User Account Control) settings are turned on by default.
Just as painful is finding where the UI "checkbox" is to turn it on and off.
Needless to say I ended up having to play around with the command line to turn the UAC Off and On.
To save you the trouble here it is.
Disable UAC
C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32 eg.exe ADD HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Enable UAC
C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32 eg.exe ADD HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
After you enable or disable UAC, you will have to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
Presto! No more annoying "approve the action" requests from Windows 7 or Vista.
