I want to make my Win7 to work like WinXP regarding accounts that are
members of the Adnimistrators group. In Win7, these accounts are demoted
and don't have all the rights like in WinXP.
I thought disabling the UAC would solve this, but apparently, it only
disable the prompt for elevated access. The accounts are still demoted. Any
access that are usually UAC prompted, would fail. The difference is that,
the UAC prompt won't be shown at all.
I'm aware that this would cause a security risk, but I'm tired of being
prompted to confirm elevated access since I frequently need full admin
rights.
So, is there any setting for this? Like Group Policy, perhaps?

There's an idea here, but because of its manual nature, I don't
know if it's going to support half of the UAC prompts you're
seeing. The intent of AutoElevate is for a more surgical
solution, but in doing so, there's likely to be lots of
non-applications situations it won't solve.

elevate without prompting for all members of Administrators group.
I forgot that the Security Policy snap-in isn't included in the Computer

But thank you for taking your time to help. :)
And thank you for providing me that newsgroup. I'll definitely use it.
