Article here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tec...ilitySpotlight Download the code for this article: Utility2007_06.exe (159KB) http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ity2007_06.exe Among the many features Windows Vista introduced to address security concerns, User Account Control (UAC) is one of the most significant. With User Account Control, even users who are administrators run most applications with standard privilege, but have "elevation potential" for specific administrative tasks and application functions. After using Windows Vista™ for many months, elevating a task or application as necessary has become second nature. However, I also encountered a number of shortcomings when trying to elevate some types of tasks in Windows Vista, and that became frustrating. So in the spirit of the old Windows® PowerToys, I’ve created a few Script Elevation PowerToys to overcome these limitations. You can find all of the PowerToys I’m about to discuss in the code download at technetmagazine .com/code07.aspx http://www.technetmagazine.com/code07.aspx. And you can read about how UAC works in the November 2006 article "Achieve the Non-Admin Dream with User Account Control" by Alex Heaton (see the "Additional Resources" sidebar).

| If you don't understand the article or comprehend the usefulness of the power toys application, I suggest you leave them alone. Most people believe these applications are safe because of the MICROSOFT name, but they are not necessarily developed by the Microsoft staff and can create some issues. Plus more time than not, you’ll never need this applications, not to mention that they can steal PC resources like RAM or CPU usage. |
