I was trying to set my administrator privileges to function similar to
linux (basic user accounts and one "hidden root" account). I enabled
the Administrator account, used the old XP way of hiding accounts (I
know that the CTRL+ALT+DEL login method doesn't work anymore). Then set
the other accounts as standard accounts. finally I disabled UAC thinking
that it was user specific, not system wide. Restart. When I logged back
in, I was horrified to find that I could NOT perform ANY raised
privilege tasks, even if I clicked on "run as administrator". This is
because UAC is disabled. My computer is basically USELESS because if
this. If only Microsoft hadn't taken out the CTRL+ALT+DEL login method
I would be home free!!!! MOTHERFER. Is there ANYWAY to restore to the
previous unF'ed up settings. I CANNOT run system restore, it gives me
an "Class not Registered" error. I'm probably screwed, I have
Bitlocker enabled and i can't disable it. That prevents me from editing
the registery through bart's pe or the like, at least i think. thanks
for any help -ben
