UAC Change

[Firefox]

I had previous set group policy so that everyone of our Windows 7 devices set the UAC to it's default level Default - Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer

 

A number of people started reporting that they were now being prompted more often for their credentials.

 

Comparing my machine to theirs, I noticed that their "Default" level is the "Always notify" option

 

Does anyone know when the default level changed in Windows 7? If I move their setting down to the 2nd level, the wording is the box is actually different too

or use group policy if they are domained make the setting automatic and standard

Sorry, I think you may have both misunderstood. I know how to get to the UAC box, and I am perfectly comfortable changing the settings. But if you open up your own..does the "Default" option, (and I mean the Microsoft "Default", not what you may have set it to) sit on the 2nd option down?

 

Most websites I can find say the 2nd option is the default. My issue is, a number of our users seemingly have Always notify listed as "Default" - it appears as if Microsoft changed what they deemed to be the default level.

 

My Group policy - simply sets the default level, so although we both successfully get the same policy, it appears to give a different setting, as the level is different.
