at least put something! I mean, if I am meant to deny all 'unidentified publisher' popups because it might be a virus (or not), then I will be denying microsoft because MICROSOFT STUFF COMES UNDER 'UNIDENTIFIED PUBLISHER!!!!' UAC idea is good, but its implementation of The Corporation is weird. No one need to approve "elevation" for any single run of any single app. It can be done only once -- by default when is run by user for the first time -- and put on list of insecure apps if necessary. So simple it is -- but try to explain it to a smart asshole just out of college -- wasted time! Hi there! Is there any way to change UAC from a standard account? I used to have an admin account but I ended up changing it into a standard account and now only my older brother has an admin account and everytime I need something done, I have to go to him. Its really annoying. Please help me out. Thank you. i i have vista ultimate on my pc with 2 accounts, admin and user. I would like to permit access to an application for the user without having him type in the admin password cause the user can't run the application without the admin password, it worked with turning off UAC but i didn't recommend it cause it just makes my system less secure, so if there is a way to apply permissions just to that application
