How to change the elevation prompt behavior for administrators

1. Click Start, click Accessories, click Run, type secpol.msc in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. From the Local Security Settings console tree, click Local Policies, and then Security Options.
3. Scroll down to and double-click User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators.
4. From the drop-down menu, select one of the following settings:
• Elevate without prompting (tasks requesting elevation will automatically run as elevated without prompting the administrator)
• Prompt for credentials (this setting requires user name and password input before an application or task will run as elevated)
• Prompt for consent (default setting for administrators)

5. Click OK.
6. Close the Local Security Settings window.

These procedures are not supported on Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, or Windows Vista Home Premium.
