Here is a UDF that allows you to easily read and write to the registry keys that control User Account Control (UAC). I wrote this UDF while I was working on a project for Windows 7 that required reboots, and for the script to start on its own, with the full administrator rights, after the PC auto logged in without the issue of the UAC prompt. The functions I used the most was _UAC_GetConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin and _UAC_SetConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin, but I decided to go ahead and write a full UDF for the all the UAC values. For usage, please look a the function headers.I hope other finds this UDF useful.
