Weird 7 UAC issue...

I cant manage to keep UAC off. No matter how many times I turn UAC off and reboot, in a few hours it turns itself back on to Always Notify. Anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions?

I think I found the answer here:

It appears that a group policy setting is created during a vista to 7 upgrade. It constantly turns UAC back on. Weird. This is the specific file:

C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol

I renamed it to .bak, and I will report back when I'm sure that's the fix.

EDIT: That seems to have done the trick.
