Hi pRose_DC,

Welcome to the Vistax64.com forum. :party:

That program elevates the Adminstrator privilege. This tutorial will
show you how to do this for Vista Home Premium in Method Two without any
3rd party programs.

If you haven't already done so... *there is another way! ! !*

Click on the old Vista Start Logo > All Programs > Accessories >
Command Prompt, and right click on the Command Prompt and select "Run As
Administrator", then click to open, then type: net user administrator
/active:yes then "Enter", then type: exit to close Command Prompt.

Now log off and login as Administrator and that's it you'll have all
the Administrator promissions without all that annoying popup. PLus the
UAC is still enabled, just that now you have *FULL CONTROL!*

It may be a real good idea at this time to rename and set a password to
the Administrator account to what ever you like and delete that old
account you setup with!

Real easy and so much for disabling the Administrator Account! Wink
