I am trying to disable UAC on a more permanent basis than just turning it off as Windows Defender will turn it back on. I am using this script:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k
%windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v EnableLUA
/t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

in order to actually turn UAC off. I am running it in Task Scheduler and it does turn UAC off. However, it requires a second boot to apply it. This takes too long so I am looking for a script that tests if UAC is on or off and re-boots only if it is on.
I tried a second batch file to run upon logon to reboot (shutdown -r -t 0) but I got into a perpetual reboot situation which required an Acronis restore to get out of. Any idea how to get the second boot only if UAC is turned on?
I don't need the aggravation of UAC as I am the sole user and depend on my daily Acronis backups to resolve any problems that might occur by turning it off. Or any other ideas how to get rid of it?

Method 1
1. Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu.

2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAP" (this should probably change to UAC in next Vista beta builds and in the RTM version). Click on that line.

3. Press the Launch button.

4. A CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window
You will have to reboot for any changes to apply

Method 2
1. Open Control Panel.

2. Under User Account and Family settings click on the "Add or remove user account".

3. Click on one of the user accounts, for example you can use the Guest account

4. Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.

5. Under "Make changes to your user account" click on the "Change security settings" link.

6. In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.

7. You will be prompted to reboot your computer. Do so when ready.

I hope either of these 2 methods work for you. If they dont, I have another Method using Regedit but that method should only be tried if necesessary.
