I am new to vista. I would like to run an unattended backup but it gets
held up by the user account control. Is there a way to allow specific
programs to pass the user account control automatically without having to
disable the entire user account control.
Thanks,
Don
 
How to disable UAC prompts and retain UAC security:

Run Regedit and navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
Change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin from "2" to "0".

Thanks for your response Bob. I have changed the registry as you suggested.
I am really clueless about this subject. How is what I did different from
just turning off UAC? What UAC security is retained? Thanks again.
Appreciate your help.

To be perfectly honest Don, I don't know what UAC does that is not
accomplished by having anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall programs.
My position is as long as it doesn't hurt and I can avoid the annoying
prompts I'll continue to have it enabled. Maybe there is someone here who is
knowledgeable enough to explain what UAC does over and above anti-virus,
anti-spyware and firewall programs.
