UAC problem for std user
I have an admin acct and a std user acct - I run in std user most of the time. It is becoming a PITA because it keeps asking me for an admin pw for just about anything. I tried to chg the UAC but it tells me I must be logged on as an admin user. If I do that I can chg the admin user but it does not affect the std user - it is stuck at level 3. if I chg the std user to admin I can chg UAC under the user login but if I go back and chg the login back to std user the UAC is back to level3. My purpose of running as a std user is for anti-virus reasons. I have a good AV program but it seems to me that some things that were installed invisibly when running as an admin user don't happen any more. I have read all the UAC issue posts I can find, but none r exactly my problem and no solutions fit either. I tried making std user a member of power users and others but that didn't do anything - unless I need to configure power users somehow. I even get prompts to allow ASUS utilities & help programs to run at boot up. 1. how can I chg the UAC for the std user? 2. will that stop all the prompts to run programs, and change things? If not is there anything I can do in the group policies to make some things work without UAC control? thx I can't even delete a shortcut from MY desktop without admin pw.
