Windows Vista About command line

Hi folks,


Windows Vista


IIRC command to disable/enable popup:

Code:

User Account Control (UAC)

Windows needs your permission ......

To Disable UAC

Code:

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

To Enable UAC

Code:

    C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

It is NOT easy to recall the exact path correctly. Is there a shorter command to be run on "Command Prompt" without the full path to do the same job?


Furthermore on creating a new user account running;

Code:

C: Net user AAA password
C: Net user AAA /active:yes (can this command be omitted ?)

Is there a flag stopping the user having privilege as Administrator ?


TIA

P.S. Would it be the same as in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008

 

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your response.

If I can't find an easy way I have to follow the traditional method.

Running command on "Command Prompt" to do a job is robust and simple.

E.G.
Net user administrator mypasswd
Net user administrator /active:yes

Two lines create an administrator's account assigning him/her a password as well, rather than clicking around with mouse pointer on screen. Unfortunately I haven't discovered many of them on Internet in this respect.
