Updates are done frequently too. I also join Microsoft Spynet as basic user. However, when I ask for a list of allowed items, this list is empty (although I approved many items). How can I invoke this list?? Many Thanks for your advice and help. -- Joey Dalton

User Account Control is one of those Windows features that evokes a number of different responses from folks. Most people appreciate the enhanced security UAC offers, but we did hear complaints about the high number of UAC prompts in Windows Vista. This led some customers to turn off UAC, which concerns us from a security perspective. So in Windows 7, we've given a great deal of thought to how we marry enhanced security with ease-of-use. We have written extensively about the changes in UAC for Windows 7 on the Engineering Windows 7 blog (Post 1, Post 2, Post 3, Post 4).

Hi, I'm trying to set up a Vista Enterprise box, fully patched and on a domain so that when I right click on an app and then click on Run as administrator it prompts me for a user name and a password. I login with a non-privileged domain account and need to elevate to an account that has admin privileges on the domain and locally. I know it is possible because that is how my current computer is configured. I just can't find the tip sheet I found last time. Thanks!
