UAC Problems

[RalphK]

Several weeks ago UAC started blocking access to my root drive. Not sure if it occured after an update or not. I have restored to about 2 months earlier but the problem persists.
Tried TweakUAC but no change. I'm not sure modifying the Regestry is the way to go. Hate to have to reinstal and start over.
Appreciate any HELP!

Disable UAC and see if you issue goes away. I disabled UAC and DEP because of all the problems with it. I know Microsoft will not be happy. My workstation is behind a good router.

When I do this it removes protected mode from IE.

I have UAC turned off.. I was advised not to. It's such a hassle tho.

Yes, you need to keep your firewall and anti-virus up to date. I don't surf warez, porn or other sites that carry the risk of attacks. So I am not worried about it. Configure your router properly and you will stop most attacks. UAC and DEP need too much baby sitting for my needs. It is like when I had XP x64 SP2. I don't do things that put my workstation at risk.
