The trick is useful for Administrator accounts only. What we will be doing in this computer repair tips article is learning how to change Windows Vista to automatically elevate the privilege level for administrators – but – without the prompting.
The good thing about doing it this way is that regular users and Internet Explorer will still run as normal and would still have the normal security mechanisms.
