How to turn off UAC using c#?

[lovnin]

I want to turn off vista UAC(User Account Control) using c#. How can i do that? Thanks a lot.

Not that I can say for sure, but I would imagine that its close to impossible - the point of UAC is to stop programs doing things they shouldn't. If C# could turn it off easily I'd be very worried about UACs value as a security measure... Chris

You probably shouldn't, but, all the UAC stuff is saved in the registry. You can alter those keys (you'll need to invoke UAC via app.mainifest first to be able to access them) from C#. Google for Registry UAC Vista and you should be able to find out which keys they are.

Not sure if from a security standpoint that this is a good idea. Any reason why you must do this?
