changing the way security settings are?

[gangaskan]

is there a way to make setting security permissions via the gui to reflect how XP / 2k was?


its kind of annoying to have to click 10 extra buttons to take control of a folder, replicate permissions, and reset them :/

You can disable UAC, I dont recommend it, Its the sole reason why windows 7 is so stable. Many viruses cant run because of it.

You can disable the UAC prompts without disabling UAC completely, and still retain UAC security like Protected Mode in IE by merging the following registry edit...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000

The default Value data for the ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin DWORD is 2, which results in the darkened screen and UAC pop-up to verify consent before proceeding. This setting can also be changed via Local Security Policy | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode | Set to Elevate without prompting.

Yes but now you loose secure desktop which is what protects against many many viruses. Its the OPs PC so obviously do what you like but I would never do this.

Will win7 even install on FAT32?
