I never needed something like that. The way I did is simple. Set the User Account Control to "Never notify" and use the following Reg entries, That's it: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000 "EnableInstallerDetection"=dword:00000000 "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000 "EnableSecureUIAPaths"=dword:00000000 "EnableUIADesktopToggle"=dword:00000000 "PromptOnSecureDesktop"=dword:00000000 "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures"=dword:00000000 "dontdisplaylastusername"=dword:00000000 "FilterAdministratorToken"=dword:00000000 Reboot the comp. After accommodating the hosts file, just write protect it. The user account control in Win 8 is too restrictive to me. Also after setting it like this example, all software is working just fine.
Thank you! I used to add some entries in the hosts file to get a certain AV program to work, besides the instructions told to also change these special attributes. I don't know if this is really necessary, but at least it worked. So I wondered for W8 now, with its new settings.

not sure if you have the administrator account active but try this open cmd as admin and type Net user administrator /active:yes then switch user, log off and log on on admi account and try to changer special permissions
well that account runs with elevated privileges by default so if you need to deny permissions to admins and system maybe you only can do that with that account ( UAC doesn't pop up with that account) you can always do Net user administrator /active:no afterwords
