Mike

I have a Windows Vista PC which was connected once to another domain. Now it
was moved to my domain and depite that I have administrator account on this
PC(I have also rights on the domain controlers)I can't get rid of security
warning messages that appear from time to time regarding action that I do.
Is it possible and how to diasppear these messages forever?
Regards
Mike

If I understand correctly the message you are talking about, it is set
typically using group policy. With that said however I would have expected
that when you removed the machine from the original domain that the policy
would no longer apply. This leads me to believe that the setting was put
there by some other means.

This is the policy i'm refering to -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779661.aspx

Using the registry editor, have a look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \
Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon.

Look for 2 values, LegalNoticeCaption and LegalNoticeText - these are what
are used to configure the message that is displayed. If you clear these
(set them to nothing) that message should go, unless of course it's set
using something that automatically creates them.

Let me know how you get on.

Jon

My guess is that he's actually referring to UAC prompts.

Indeed I believe you are correct - I re-read his post :blush:)

To turn of UAC go into Control Panel -> User Accounts and then you can turn
UAC off.

Before you do however consider why - this feature was intended to prevent
the user from doing potentially harmfull things to the machine without
realizing - granted the feature can be a little annoying but also usefull.

Cheers,
