UAC (Vista Home Premium)

[cornbread]

Heya,

Is there a way to turn off UAC prompts but still keep the service on? I've managed to find some articles on various versions of Vista and Win 7, but none that seem to work with home premium versions.

Thanks

Since the Home versions of Vista don't include SecPol (Local Security Policy), you'll need to edit the ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin DWORD value in the registry to 0 (the default value is 2) under the following sub-key...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

I've always went to Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on or off. That's with Vista Home 32 bit.

I should have been more specific, but changing the ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin DWORD value to 0 disables UAC for the Administrator accounts only.
