User Account Control

I am new to Vista and I would like to know how to stop the prompt to cancel
or allow a program that I use 50+ times a day in my line of work. I tried to
follow instructions in the help section by going to accessories, run, and
typing secpol.msc but that address cannot be found (this is a brand new
laptop). Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.

To stop the prompt Run regedit. Navigate to the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System.
Change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin to 0 (zero) from 2.

Be sure to backup your registry first.

Thanks Bob for that tip to "AW", the original poster.

I had a similar problem with UAC, your tip paid off.

Thank you very much Bob. Can you tell me a little more specifically how I do
this? I just do my work on my computer. I am not very knowledgeable about
the processes of things. Thanks for your help.

Press Winkey+r. Type regedit. Press Enter. When the registry opens press
CTRL+f. Type ConsentPrompt. Press Enter. Right click the resulting
highlighted file. In the Value Box change the 2 to 0.

Again, be sure to backup your registry first. To backup click File>Export.
Save it in a convenient location. Make sure you save it with the .reg
extension. I suggest you name it "registry backup 2-16-2008.reg". (without
the quotes) As an additional safeguard, I suggest you also create a Restore
Point before making the registry change.
