the default focused button on a UAC elevation prompt is always "No", is there any way to tweak it to "Yes"?

i'm NOT interested in disabling UAC, btw.

thanks,

why? just use ALT+Y shortcut to accept UAC Prompt.

cause Alt+Y is pretty awkward to press, so i'd like to tweak it if possible. isn't that what tweaks are for?...so you don't have to live with defaults.

i'd like a quick way for opening up an elevated privileges command prompt via keyboard. i made a shortcut in the start menu that dues run as admin for cmd that i called "acmd" so the sequence is as follows:

Win key. "acmd". Enter. then the UAC prompt defaults to No. i would rather just hit double Enter.

it's because of security. All Input boxes with with the choice set the focus on the "No" button.

i asked whether it can be changed, not why the defaults are the way they are - i understand the reasoning perfectly well.

however, there are a lot of things done for security which can be entirely disabled - IE protected mode, firewall, defender, guest accounts, allowing blank account passwords...etc, etc, etc and....*drum roll*...UAC - altogether. so if you can turn UAC completely off, it's not unfathomable to ponder if a default "no" focus can be tweaked to be a "yes" focus.

Interesting question, but I don't know if you can tweak it. Chances are a thing like that can't be changed...

it's also a protection against data loose if you click space to accept it without reading what you are doing.

I don't think there is a "tweak" to do this. You may ask it on the official Technet forum and wait for an answer of MS.
