UAC in Vista Home Premium (hmm... no secpol.msc)

Hmmm... Maybe I need to rephrase my question...
I allready marked the programs to "Run this program as Administrator"
(although the place the information in the link is good to know)... What I am
really trying to do is to get UAC to not ask me if I am sure I want to run a
program because it says "An unidentified program wants access to your
computer." And i am really interested to know if microsoft has (or is working
on) a "secpol.msc" or an equvilent so I can easily change the behavoir of UAC
without just turning it off.

Ruben,

You can go to this link and scroll down a bit and do this section:
DISABLE UAC FOR ADMINISTRATORS ONLY:

http://tinyurl.com/2velpl

Instead of turning UAC off completely, this way acts like the group
policy in Vista Ultimate by "elevating priviledge without prompting".
It leaves UAC on for Protected mode in IE7 and for Standard user
accounts, but it will no longer ask you (Administrator account) another
"CONTINUE" question again. Unless of course you reverse this.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

As it says in my previous post, I do NOT wish to disable UAC.
Also, I am not getting a "CONTINUE" question... I am getting a
"Allow/Cancel" message...

As it says in my previous post, I do NOT wish to disable UAC... I just want
to make exceptions for my commonly used programs...
Also, I am not getting a "CONTINUE" question... I am getting a
"Allow/Cancel" message...

Although dtweak is really cool, it has an all encompasing message silencer...
I would like to be able to silence messages for specific programs. I am
getting the feeling like nothing exists that can do this (I am not even sure
if secpol.msc can do this because I dont have it... can someone confirm
this?)... mostly I am just really annoyed that the help files point me to a
program that doesnt exist. Did they just forget to add it?... Were they not
able to get it to work properly on premium so they just left it out?!! (O...
and please let me know if you think this post belongs in another section... I
wasnt sure which category to put it under)

seccpol.msc can't do it on a per-program basis either. It is all or
nothing.

No, it is one of their (in my opinion, misguided) artificially
introduced "differences" between the Home and non-Home versions of
Vista. Their thinking is apparently that no Home user would ever need
to adjust security policies (or use group policies, or join a domain,
etc.). Rubbish.

You can put UAC into SILENT MODE :

*Officially* there is no secpol.msc in Home Premium. This is true.

Thank you everyone for the information! =)

(I still think UAC should be a bit more customizable though...)

'Disable Annoying Vista UAC popups with TweakUAC (free!)'
(http://www.tweak-uac.com/)
The above link claims to have the answer but I don't want to fill my PC
with more apps, I'd rather have the OS answer. Like you I run Home
Premium. I imagine that this is how MS will get a number of users to
upgrade. It's worth a few bucks to be rid of the annoyance, I imagine,
is the reasoning. Seems wrong to me. I'd like to avoid the prompt when
using familiar programs such as Yahoo Messenger and adobe products. I
hope someone can answer honestly if the annoyance can be avoided with
Home Premium without the upgrade and without a third party application.
