Our goal here is to get a process to start with high integrity without interacting with the user. If a user is an administrator, they can press "Yes" to give the asking process higher integrity, or, if they are not an admin, they have to type in the administrator password. Never notify: User is never notified about changes to the computer.Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer (Don't dim the desktop): Doesn't dim the desktop when showing a prompt.Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer: User is prompted when a program needs elevated privileges.Always notify: User is notified any time anything needs elevated privileges.When a program needs to run on a higher integrity level, it has to prompt the user to give it admin rights. This limits damage malware can do to the computer, as it can only interact with user files. If User Account Control is enabled, programs run at medium (Or lower) integrity, even if the user starting them has Administrator rights. Processes in Windows run at different levels of integrity, representing the different amounts of "trust" they have to interact with the computer. This tutorial was written with Windows 7 in mind, but the principle applies to all versions starting from 7.
