launching UAC by command

disable UAC

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v  EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

enable UAC

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v  EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Those are the only two UAC commands I know of from dos, and they are quite long winded. As you are actually invoking a single line registry edit and not a direct command to UAC.
I think it's blocked from DOS access for obvious security reasons. A simple 16 bit virus would easily be able to manipulate it if it were easily invoked directly from dos.

As I said I think that capacity is intentionally blocked.
You might be able to trigger it via command line using a task though.

it's a different thing entirely, what's happening there is typing UAC is making the search engine within windows track down the cpl from control panel. UAC is not actually a command, it's a search parameter.

yes, there has to be a .cpl related to it but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.
Though the first couple of paragraphs here, kind of reiterate what I've been trying to say.
