Not possible, maybe if you were to hook some APIs it could be, but not via Registry. Just live with UAC Enabled, it's not that bad when you setup your stuff correctly, if you have a place where it annoys you then explain it. There is a solution for everything

Thanks to Tel-a-Visor and MSMG for their clarification. this one no longer works on win8.1 Enterprise RTM. It was still working on build 9471..... I would also like to know if it still works on Pro RTM or not. Anyone?

Hey! did anyone notice the option to put a tick in the Run box to toggle between Admin privilege?.. Can someone post the reg files to enable/disable it in a way that it retains the ability to be toggled via GUI & not via registry ONLY method. Thanks.

Windows Defender reinstatement in Windows 8.1 Professional WMC RTM Hi all there, I need to know if there's a registry trick / tweak to make Windows Defender works again in Windows 8.1 Professional WMC RTM when by default (into the Windows registry) the Program files directory is no longer C:\ (the Windows O.S. partition) but a different partition on the same HDD. Same question for some other program files (Wordpad, Photo viewer, etc.). Everytime I change that value into the registry those programs ends working, and I cannot fix them in the registry, even as admin, because I'm not allowed to. Any help is really welcome. Regards.
Is there a way to re-enable to the WEI thing in system properties? You can still use it via the CMD promopt but M$ removed it from system properties :/ I'm only asking here because of the thread title
I, think there was tutorial, how to remove WEI from Windows 7/8.. May be if we made the reverse thing i.e if we add the code that was removed, it will work.. not sure will try and let you know.
