Controlling Virtualization

If for some reason you don't want file and Registry virtualization to work, then you may recall that in the last chapter we met two group policy settings that can shut it off:

• "User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode" will, if disabled, shut off all UAC-related code, including and file and Registry virtualization.

• "User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations" will, if disabled, shut off file and Registry virtualization.

Both group policy settings require a reboot to see any changes take effect.
