    Disable UAC completely


    Hey folks, this tweak has been floating around but didn't spot it here on EF so just a heads up. This is for those of you who disable UAC on their systems and have been getting annoyed that DP doesn't disable UAC completely even though the slider is pulled all the way down and the user is Admin.

    So, just open regedit and locate this key.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    In the right pane look for "EnableLUA" and modify its value to 0. Close regedit.

    Done.

    Disclaimer: This is not meant to encourage people to ditch UAC or even to use this method. Peeps who disable UAC are expected to know their way around.

    Edit: It has been reported that setting this key to 0 makes some metro apps stop working. So, if you're into metro apps, tread cautiously.

    Thanks for this. I was really looking for a work around to permanently disable UAC.
