UAC Group Policy Setting in Registry.

[John]

In the higher forms of Vista (not Basic, which I have) you can use
gpedit.msc to change the UAC setting allowing a user with an admin account
to be elevated automatically. No more nag screen.

Where in the registry are those settings? Since I can't use gpedit in Vista
Basic, I would like to go directly to the registry setting.

Thanks.

These are the UAC options in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000002
"ConsentPromptBehaviorUser"=dword:00000001
"EnableInstallerDetection"=dword:00000001
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000001
"EnableSecureUIAPaths"=dword:00000001
"EnableVirtualization"=dword:00000001
"PromptOnSecureDesktop"=dword:00000001
"FilterAdministratorToken"=dword:00000000
"LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy"=dword:00000001

I discuss all of them in the Vista Security book below.
