I mean this

No. I mean this (Highlighted in Bold and use red as font color):
Wikipedia;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control#Features said:
There are a number of configurable UAC settings. It is possible to:

  • Require administrators to re-enter their password for heightened security;
  • Require the user to press Ctrl+Alt+Del as part of the authentication process for heightened security;
  • Disable Admin Approval Mode (UAC prompts for administrators) entirely;

Found it!

It took a lot of searching for me to find this, but when I did, I had to come back here and update this thread. This was one of the first pages I found during my search with someone asking the same question as I was, but with no answers and a lot of dead ends...very frustrating. Anyway here it is:

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/161034-ctrl-alt-del-require-press-approve-uac-elevation.html

Create the key (if it doesn't already exist)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\CredUI

There, create the DWORD

EnableSecureCredentialPrompting

set the DWORD value to 1.

Done. No need to reebot.
