Thought my ears were burning... for the record, that isn't the problem I didn't solve. :)
Besides keeping an elevated cmd prompt always running, these are the measures that make UAC livable, although I wouldn't do (a) for ordinary users who don't get many UAC prompts. a) Run TweakUAC and disable elevation prompting (don't disable UAC). b) Use the reg hack in KB 937624 so that drives mapped in one mode (elevated or non-elevated) are available in the other mode. E.g. when login scripts create drive mappings that aren't usable by non-elevated programs, this solves that. c) Use the Elevate Powertoy to force things to run elevated that wouldn't start that way by default. For example, when you want Task Manager to autorun with processes displayed for all users. http://www.tweakuac.com/what-is-tweak-uac/ http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/937624 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc162321.aspx Carl -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 8:59 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Odd Vista problem with cmd.exe roflwaffles.
