UAC, secure desktop

[Pazau]

Hello everyone.

I have at my school brought me access to my extradited PC's administrator account (legally be maintained), and via the tool Group Policy disabled switching to secure desktop on request for permission from UAC.

What I mention, is that when Windows UAC asks me to grant permission to a program can be run, then the whole screen is dark and you are forced to focus on the question. By disabling, the box comes up just like any other window, and I do not therefore change the focus to the window.

My extradited PC running Windows 7 Professional, and that is why I have Group Policy tool available.



I want to disable secure desktop on my home PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem in this context is that I do not have Group Policy available and therefore must change it via registry.

This is where my question comes, how do I do that?

So you want to disable Secure Desktop... Could you highlight what Secure Desktop is for I do not know because I have never heard of it

Many Thanks,
Josh

Here is the procedure - but it is not recommended (and is, in fact, discouraged): Make User Account Control (UAC) Stop Blacking Out the Screen in Windows 7 or Vista - How-To Geek.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
