UAC Behaviour when set to "Prompt for Consent on the Secure Desktop"

We are in the process of testing UAC on Windows 8.1. UAC is enabled for admins and the setting for "Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval mode" is set to "Prompt for consent on the secure desktop".
This results in the administrator having to go through three separate prompts in order to execute the function which required elevation.
First there is a dialog which gives the options "I want to complete this action by entering my credentials on the authentic Windows sign-in screen" or "I don't want to complete this action"
Second there is a prompt to press CTRL-ALT-DEL to enter your credentials
Third there is the prompt for consent on the secure desktop.
Is there a way I can configure UAC to not have the first two prompts?

Hi Fangzhou and thanks for the reply. The action is just to "Run as Administrator" on anything. Perhaps I should share the full set of settings I have in group policy:
User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account
Enabled
User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop
Disabled
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Prompt for consent on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated
Disabled
User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations
Enabled
User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Enabled
User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations
Enabled

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

Set a FocusTraversalPolicy for each of the JPanels

I have a JInternalFrame that contains a JTabbedPanel that contains 1...n JPanels
I want to set a FocusTraversalPolicy for each of the JPanels
independently.
Each JTabbedPanel has many JComponents.
Please help ME

I don't know much about JTabbedPanel but I imagine you can get each of the JPanels contained in it. So couldn't you just set FocusTraversalPolicy for each of them? I guess I really don't understand what the problem here is.

Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

Hi, couple of things to try...

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store. I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are. My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade. Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution. Here are the steps to take:
1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left. If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase. You know what to do.
3. There is also an option to reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy. Select "Remove All Website Data." Just do it.
5. Launch the app store and sign in.
6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
I hope this helps. Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

It can't find URL when i use HLS for vod and the vod file name contain Chinese。eg： http://127.0.0.1:8134/hls-vod/你好.mp4.m3u8.
How does it support Chinese path?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Prompted for password after the PO is restarted

Hello everybody,
Some users are prompted for password on the device after the Post Office is restarted.
Killing the app "Mail" on the iDevice seems to resolve the problem. Do you have another solutions to avoid to kill the app.
Thx

ITunes keeps prompting me to reenter the security code for my credit card each time I make a purchase

ITunes keeps prompting me to reenter the security code for my credit card each time I make a purchase, saying my Windows 7 PC is a new device. However, the PC is on iTune's list of authorized devices for downloads. What's causing this? I do block cookies etc on browsers.

I don't know. No, it doesn't use your browser. Perhaps you should call and find out what the problem is.

Strange behaviour when setting client_info and module in v$session

Hello,
I've tried to set the CLIENT_INFO field in V$SESSION using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO but found a strange behaviour.
Normally the forms modules seems to set the field MODULE in V$SESSION to its name. If I use DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO the CLIENT_INFO field is set correctly but the MODULE field is set to 'frmweb.exe' instead of the forms modules name.
I also tried to set the MODULE using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE but then strangely the MODULE and MODULE_HASH field of the original frmweb.exe (the main applet?) entry and the entry for the forms module were the same (set to the new module name). From now on every newly opened module had 'frmweb.exe' as the module entry until I closed the forms application.
Example:
Entries in V$SESSION:
-- After start of forms application there is only one entry for the process:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
-- When a new forms module is opened it looks like this:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615
-- When the modified forms module that sets the client_info/module is opened this happens:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240             my client info
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615As one can see the entry of the forms application seems to be overriden (at least the MODULE and MODULE_HASH fields) but the CLIENT_INFO only changes for one of the entries?
The following code is responsible for the changes of CLIENT_INFO and MODULE:
    -- get client info
    client_info :=
        webutil_clientinfo.get_ip_address
        || ' (' ||
        webutil_clientinfo.get_user_name
        || ')'
    -- set client info
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO(client_info);
    -- get module (set action to '')
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE(name_in('system.current_form'),''); I really don't understand, why it does not work properly.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

This was an application module pooling, activation / passivation issue.
After view objects had been set-up correctly, the problem disappeared.

Prompting for SAVE as the document with Digital signatures in 8 or above

When i am doing digital signature on Adobe PDF 8 and above , it is prompting to SAVE AS the document.I am accessing the PDF documents from my document management application and signing on that.So Save as wouldnot work for our case.It should save on the default existing location.How to solve this issue?

Thank you very much for your responses. The final post on the forum at the link you provided explains the issue. It appears to be some sort of conflict with the Windows Explorer document previewer that is causing this. Whenever I am previewing the document I am working with in the Explorer, I cannot save changes. As soon as I preview a different document, the changes can be saved without any problems. In the interest of providing further information so that a more permanent solution can be found, I am running Windows 7 and have had this problem with Acrobat 9 and X. Files are being saved locally. Unfortunately, I do not have the savvy to tell you what kind of server.
