Use "Run as administrator" with UAC disabled

You know, you can have UAC on for standard users and off for Admin users, right?
Keeping UAC on you also get the benefits of the built in process sandbox, IE and Chrome both use.

You can, but I can't. I'm running Home premium, no group policy editor.

I don't have Home premium. But don't you even have the file "C:\Windows\System32\secpol.msc"?? That would do the trick. I know you don't have "gpedit.msc", but its not the same, right?

No, search shows "no items" and I don't see it listed in the system32 folder. In this case I don't need it as I wouldn't do as you proposed anyway. I don't have any standard user accounts on my PC. I do miss no having the group policy editor though. Knowing I don't have it I just thought I would mention that not everybody has that option.

Its not Group Policy, Administrative Tools > Security Management (will be named different but will have "Security" in the name.) Every version of Windows has Local Security Policy.

I don't see anything like that in administrative tools, also search doesn't show it either.

Assuming this is correct:
Local Security Policy Editor - Open
You will not have the Local Security Policy Editor available in the Windows 7 Starter and Home Premium editions.
