I would *highly* recommend *not* disabling UAC. It will leave your system wide opened to threats and far less secure. The tightened security, while annoying, is one of the features that makes Windows 7 an improvement over XP.

I'm an application developer with an old application that installs on client PC's using batch files to copy .dll and .ocx files to Windows\system32. I'm trying the old scripts on my first Windows 7 computer. I can't get the files to copy.<br />

The user I'm logged on as is an administrator. Do you think this is a permissions problem? Or is this approach not going to work at all in Windows 7?
