1.0.8.2 SC Vista, and UAC

[jasoncollege24]

Using a LAN, i tested my SC on my Vista Home Premium computer, after adding the line in the custom ZIP to allow UAC to be disabled for the VNC session. Unfortunately, when the session was over, UAC never turned itself back on. I was forced to turn it on manually.

Is there a work around for this?

As an afterthought, it also enabled my guest account. I can disable the account from my users control panel applet, but with each restart, the account is enabled again automatically. I normaly do not enable the guest account on my computers.

This are the registry value's SC change for it.
1) save old value
2) set to 0
3) restore old value ( sample 2)

on start
--------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000
----

on exit
------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000002
-------

your reply suggests that it automatically turns UAC back on when it exits SC... this was not the case for me. the changes to my UAC had to be undone manually,and my guest account will not stay off.

I'm assuming this is a bug.

Is the console user admin ?

If the console user isn't admin and you give another account+passwd
to disable uac you can't enable it back.

On exit, the console user is used to write to the registry, if this user doesn't have access, restore fail with permission denied.

the guest account finally styed off. to answer your question, the only available account on the computer is setup as admin. (I am prompted with an OK/Cancel choice instead of requiring a password for UAC)
