• I have a problem with the user account control restricting printing.

  Original title: problem of UAC Restriction...

  In fact, this problem only occurs on Windows 7 / Vista including our field is now progressing to it. The problem is that we still use an OLD way for ourselves print documents by a former software which will form the LPT port. We used to map the BP turbine as: "net use LPT3: \\print_server\printer / persistent: Yes.

  EVERYTHINS works correctly, the fact is that we can mount the printer on LPT port, but we cannot print on it. The only way we found to make it work is by disabling that turned off.

  Is it possible to change this and to let any user print to an LPT port, even if UAC is the highest value?

  I thank you for your answer and have a nice day!

  In fact, was how I managed to solve this problem by defining the rights for users to C:\Windows\system32\spool folder on the print server.

  In this case the UAC asking for something.

• Alert the UAC (User Account Control)

  I think that there is something wrong with my Microsoft Office Word 2003.

  I bought Windows7 a month ago and downloaded Word 2003; It seemed to work OK, then a few weeks later the UAC alert started appearing whenever I tried to open Word.  In fact, it would open up instead of the word WinWord.  And the page would not allow the margin to go beyond the 7-inch mark, andnot allow the page beyond the first page.

  This is the message of the alert:

  Do you want to allow the following program to bring Ganges to this computer?

  Program name: Winword.exe

  Have you considered the possibility that the problem may be caused by some malicious software or viruses? Word 2003 has been around for seven years and is considered a very stable product.

  Hi Jniles,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Do you have connected to your computer as an administrator?

  User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. The default UAC notifies you when programs try to make changes to your computer, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.

  Open user account control settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click change user account control settings.

• User account control problems

  MY ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DELETED SOMEHOW. WHEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT IS OPEN AND WE ARE TRYING TO REMOVE A PROGRAM OR START SYSTEM RESTORE THE USER ACCOUNT CONTROL BOX NOW COMES UP TO ASK PERMISSION TO CONTINUE. WE CANNOT ENTER ANY PASSWORD. USER ACCOUNT CONTROL IS TURN OFF MY COMPUTER. HELP PLEASE!

  The first thing to try is go to Safe Mode to see if the disabled built-in Administrator account normally is now available. Enter Safe Mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Use your arrow key to select Safe mode, and then press the Enter key. If you see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen, log into this account and make your changes. Follow the recommendations for setting up the accounts of user below.

  If you do not see an icon for the administrator mode without failure, post back for further instructions.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• Why User Account Control allow me on IE without permission after resetting IE

  A few days ago I couldn't get on the Internet because IE would not work and internet connection was ok so out of desperation I did a reset of the EI. It still does not work then a member of the family came and got it works, but now I get the popup to permission to the user account control every time that I log on the desktop by clicking the shortcut of IE.  I went into the folder security and disabled UAC and now I only get this popup whenever I click on the desktop IE. This never used popup lights up when clicking on the shortcut of IE, so something must have happened when I did the reset Internet Explorer.  Does anyone know how to keep control of user account for all but IE?

  I have a feeling that I accidentally changed a setting on IE and probably should not have an IE reset.but now the problem is that I like to keep the popup of User Account Control permission for everyone, but the IE shortcut on my desktop.

  Furthermore, family member right clicking on the desktop for IE shortcut and did something with run as administrator to get IE working again.

  My nephew looked at the problem that I had some time ago, but I told him to forget it because he really didn't have time to work on it. I just kept off UAC all these months and had no problems I do not download anything that I'm not sure. However, a few days ago I went back to this problem. I tried checking with the Compatibility tab, and as said above "Run as Administrator" was unchecked. This time I went to the contextual on properties of Internet Explorer and click on Advanced tab. Then I unchecked the run as Administrator box and I went back and UAC enabled and everything works well. Without UAC popups more!  I also did this for the exchange of information in the start menu and on the Quick Launch bar. For some reason any one on the keyboard had worked this time (he had not earlier) without a popup UAC even before I made the changes.  This is exactly what made me do some exploring more to see if I could get the other IE shortcuts to work.

  I believe that another Member of my family who had helped me to get IE to work when I had problems to make on the internet even after a reset IE active the option "Run as Administrator". He has not been bothered by the popup and said if I was annoyed by it just turn off like he said I had a very good program antivirus (Norton) installed on my computer and it always warns you if a program you want to install is safe or not safe.

  Hope this might help someone else who may have this problem.
