McJobless Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Ok guys, simply: 1) Goto the start menu and Shift-Click the cmd. (NOTE YOU HOLD SHIFT WHEN YOU CLICK CMD!!!!) 2) By Shift-Clicking, you now have admin privlliges. Type in: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff 3) Restart your computer Thats all to it!

Cirevam Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 User Account Control. It's like being forced to ask "Mother may I?" before doing ANYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEPICtrainrider Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 User Account Control. It's like being forced to ask "Mother may I?" before doing ANYTHING. I did it the lazy way. Went to control panel and screwed around for a hour until I uncovered the page where you turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockmoddeR Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 XP doesn't have UAC on by default. Lucky me. Doc will be glad to see this if he hasn't already...In his case it IS asking "Mother May I?" Cire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Since I am using a standard user account I just use take ownership. Like if I use take ownership on the RR game folder I never have to see that message again while replacing a file or something of the sort in the folder because the folder belongs to my account. Actually by default doing anything in the program files folder activates the UAC message so I just took ownership of the whole folder. You can also use uac tweak to take care of UAC.

Addictgamer Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Actually, it would be stupid if it did work. The original idea behind UAC was to make it real tough for pc killing stuff. Disabling it would allow those stuff to do their pc-killing. So, obviously, the only option was to disable disabling it on a non-admin account.

TheEPICtrainrider Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Disabling it would allow those stuff to do their pc-killing. Not if the PC-killing stuff knows a way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Any virus specifically tailored for Vista gets around UAC anyways. It'll stop the minor ones, but the big scary worms and such will still bust through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 disabling UAC indefinitely is not advisable, that just pretty much allows any exe to be downloaded and run whenever it well pleases. So I wouldn't advise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 That's what anti-virus programs are for, Baz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's easier for viruses to get around virus programs than UAC. And anti-virus and anti-spyware/malware only detect the stuff once it's already been downloaded. Firewalls can do a pretty good job of blocking stuff, but it's never 100%. I've found several viruses on this computer and another from UAC popping up asking me for my permission to run an unknown program that my firewall did not block and my anti-virus did not detect.

Yes, Webroot told me a .Exe was trying to connect to the internet. I blocked it, but forgot to write the damn thing down. Anybody know how to find a blocked .exe that doesn't show up on Webroot? I'm turning UCA until I find the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartvbl Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU you forgot to run the CMD in administrator mode. Right click, and select "run as administrator". Then it shouold run But still, turning off UAC is something like opening your front door, and screaming "free stuff over here".

McJobless Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 I needed to turn it off! It was acting like a virus! Every program I ran INCLUDING Microsoft Office it bi*&$ed at. So i turned off that ugly cow and I now can Run a PS2 emulator for all my PS2 discs which dont have a console to run them (Because the console fell off the shelf and broke, which I was sad face at)!

Acmex Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Then I'm not exactly sure WHAT you did wrong, unless you run everything as admin for no reason whatsoever. MSO, OO.o, any game that's not trying to update at the time, just about anything I use on a regular basis (minus speedfan) doesn't ask for perms, because It doesn't need them.

Lair Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just went to the properties of where LRR was installed and gave my user full control over it. No more admin asking whenever I moved a wad into the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockmoddeR Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well that's good. I hate all UAC anyways, so I use XP. (AAAAAAAAnd because I don't feel like spending on Win7 yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
