Windows 7 Security Settings step-by-Step

When Microsoft began to aggressively launch its WINDOWS7 program, there was already a mixed debate about the new operating system. After all, does Vista come out soon, and does the new operating system really bring a better experience to the user? For users who have long been concerned about the Windows operating system, it is more interesting to be able to improve security. Although Apple released the words "Windows7 is only vista plus a few patches just", but everyone has reason to believe that Microsoft, believe that this new version of the change will not be so simple.

One, UAC change body

In fact, there is a debate about the UAC feature in Vista, which has increased security while reducing the user experience. In Windows7, Microsoft began to allow users to select the notification level for UAC, and also improved the user interface to enhance the experience. The biggest improvement in UAC in WINDOWS7 is that it provides more control options in the Control Panel, and allows users to choose the appropriate UAC level for their needs.

Richer UAC options

Enter "Secpol.msc" in the Start Menu search box and return to open the Local Security Policy Editor, select Local policy → security options, and then in the list on the right, locate the "User Account Control: Administrator's elevation prompt behavior attribute in Admin Approval Mode" and the user can see "Local Security Settings" There are six choices in the Drop-down list in: No prompts, direct elevation, prompt credentials on the secure desktop, consent prompt on secure desktop, prompt credentials, consent prompt, non-Windows binaries consent prompt. There is a need to mention the "Non-Windows binaries consent hint", which can be a good way to filter Windows system files and directly use the UAC function for the application, which is the highlight of Windows7.

UAC Control Interface

Another intuitive way to modify the user account to enter the control Panel changes the interface, click "Change user Account Control Settings", Windows7 under the UAC settings provide a slider allows users to set the level of notification, you can choose 4 ways, but obviously not the above method flexible.
