    2018-02-07_16h04_25.pngThen copy the <filename>.sdb file to the computer you want to alter the elevation prompt behavior on.
  6. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories. Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
  7. Run the command below:
    sdbinst <path>\<filename>.sdb

    For example, if you saved the .SDB file as abc.sdb in the c:\Windows folder, the command should be like this:
    sdbinst  c:\windows\abc.sdb
    It should prompt: Installation of <name> complete.
