    So this should allow access to root of c:\ ? The reason I ask is for a customer recently upgraded to new Windows 10 computers but their Access database program was written 15years ago and exports files to c:\ by default. While they have a new program in development they have been told by the devs it's still a couple of months away and they still need to carry on with their business.
    Or should I tell them just to set one of their old computers up in a corner and use that until the new software arrives?

    Yes, but there's a trade off between security and convenience so my suggestion is just to disable with only the PC having need to write to C:. Some modern programs such as Macrium Refflect, AOMEI Partition are still writing their log files to C:
    Both Local group policy & Local security policy can be used to disable. However. these 2 policies are not available in Windows 10 Home.

    So for Windows 10 Home users, they have to disable this option via the registry hack:
    Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000[/quote]
