Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums. To disable UAC, you can take either of the following methods: 1. If you use Group Policy to manage UAC, you can edit the local security policy to control this: 1) From the Start search bar, type "Local Security Policy" 2) Accept the elevation prompt 3) From the snap-in, select Security Settings -> Local Policy -> Security Options 4) Scroll down to the bottom, where you'll find nine different group policy settings for granular configuration of UAC. 2. Use the following script to elevate the privilege in Windows Vista. Scripting Elevation on Vista 3. You can also modify the registry through the following command line: REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f Important caution: please backup your registry before modifying it, any incorrect modification can cause a unrecoverable damage.

Hi Dale, I know this thread has been quite for quite some time but I don't think the answers are correct. While they do describe the correct way to disable UAC in all methods mentioned a reboot is still required. Regards, Frank
