UAC setting

[ratronic]

I turned off the uac setting a couple of months ago and I want to turn it back on (to the third setting from the top). It will let me move the pointer and click the ok button, but when I go back to the uac setting menu it still shows off (even after restarting the computer). Is there any idea how I can get this turned back on ?? Thanks -- Dave

OK paste this in Notepad and save as UAC.reg

Double click on it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000005
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000001

 

[ratronic]

Well I did as you mentioned Zardoc and ran it, but still stuck on off. Any other ideas out there ??

 

[Zardoc]

Did you reboot?

How did you turn it off.?
that would be my first Question.

 

[ratronic]

I rebooted after changing the slider in (control panel--system and security--under action center--change user account control settings) then clicking OK button and exited and rebooted. Any other ideas ??

 

[ratronic]

I had originaly had just changed the slider in the same way.

 

[Snufffed]

That is the prescribed method.
Have you used any program - hack - patch - crack to
activate 7600? or to tweak it?

 

[ratronic]

I am acually using the win7 rc build 7100 from when it first came out.

With your version being 7100 and not 7600 I would not be sure if a REG from 7600 could be inserted and work properly.

You might try a small program called TweakUAC.
you can google it...
If that does not work, and if you want. PM or EMail me and I'll send you the registery entry from my 7600-RTM.
I'm not sure if different or not... but surely can not hurt.

 

[ratronic]

Thanks for the help Snuffy, I will Google that and try it. The method Zardoc gave me seem to run (it came up with the warning about changing the registry). I will give the tweakuac a shot - thanks

 

[Snufffed]

I hope TweakUAC works. There are that I have made notes on.
many different way to DISABLE or RE ENABLE UAC. I think TweakUAC is the easiest other than import the complete reg entry.

 

[ratronic]

I gave the tweakuac a try and rebooted, but no go it is still stuck on off. Oh well I will be doing a clean install of the RTM when it's comes out next week, then it will be cured -- thanks for the help anyways, this forum is great!

 

[Snufffed]

------this is my full UAC setting via Regedit = OFF or disabled. you might check to see if the same as yours. -----------mine will enable and stay... hope this helps.

Thanks for showing me that Snuffy, but I was hoping it was something I just over looked and missed, I have put so much software in and out of this thing I am suprised I don't have more problems than I do. This machine will be looking forward to a clean install next week anyhow - thanks - Dave.

 

[bug]

Have you installed any components Office 97? Many have a similar problem, but in their case, the ok button does nothing.

 

[ratronic]

Actually I did have office 97 installed, but I have it resolved now, especially since I have just did a clean install of win7 rtm.
