How to Reset the Norton UAC “Don’t Ask Me Again” List
Norton UAC Beta includes the Don’t ask me again option to turn off prompting for the same action next time. However it doesn’t provide a GUI option to undo the setting or clear the Don’t ask me again white list. For now, this has to be done via the registry.
The Don’t ask me again listing is stored in the following registry key:
Each DWORD value in the above branch represents an action. The value names are not obvious as the Norton UAC tool uses some sort of hash algorithm to store each action.
To reset the listing, start Regedit.exe, navigate to the previously mentioned registry branch, and delete all the DWORD values in the right pane.
Information in this article applies to Norton UAC Beta (Version 2008.1.0.11). Future versions of Norton UAC might include this feature as a built-in GUI option.
