User Account Control Policies
You can customize User Account Control to a certain extent by using local group policies. In the Local Security Settings snap-in (in the Start screen, type secpol.msc, and then click secpol), open the Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options branch. Here you’ll find ten policies related to User Account Control:
• User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator Account—This policy controls whether the Administrator account falls under User Account Control. If you enable this policy, the Administrator account is treated like any other account in the Administrators group and the user must click Continue in the consent dialog box when Windows 8 requires approval for an action.
