To easily change EnableLUA key, you can create a reg file and apply it. UAC actually remains working and prevent launching exe from network folders. In win8 and win10 it is insufficient to just move slider to never notify, as it was in win7.

Also, afaik, windows home editions lack possibility to edit group policies. Hope, this will help others to solve this nasty annoyanceĬhanging 'User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode' in Local Group Policy Editor actually changes EnableLUA registry key, so it is the same solution as editing registry. Then preventing run under some security considerations which may differ in a Workgroup/Domain and/or your personal setup.Ĭopying the file to a FAT32 partition will remove/detach this information from the file, as FAT32 is not able to store/associate this information with this file.Īs the FAT32 will be probably local to your acting PC, copying it back to the share will not reapply this information to the file, as it is considered to be copied from a 'trusted'(local intranet) location. IIRC MS will add some info to the file (on the filesystem) if the exe-file was downloaded from anywhere else than from intranet- or trusted-zone.

Now I am able to open those files from the VBOX mapped location. I was hit by the same problem and found a solution (at least for me):Ĭopying the files showing this behavior to a FAT32 formatted drive, then copying back to the 'share'/'mapped drive'/'UNC' solved the problem for me.
