I'm writing a batch script and I have searched everywhere for a way to do this. I want to turn UAC all the way up (you know, the slider) via my batch script. I've already tried turning it on and off with this: 

C:\Windows\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f

But I can't find a way to turn it up! Please help! There has to be a way!

UAC slider is controlled by combination of several registry values. See this question: Set UAC Level with PowerShell. So, set desired UAC level, write down values for mentioned registry keys and apply them with reg.exe.

  • Ok! I got it to work! I had a look at this: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc232771.aspx for the REG_DWORD values. Thanks!
