This tweak allows users to search for installation files during privileged installations. This TWEAK enables the Browse button in the "Use feature from" dialog box. As a result, users can search for installation files, even when the installation program is running with elevated system privileges. By default, only system administrators can browse during installations with elevated privileges, such as installations offered on the desktop or displayed in Add or Remove Programs. Because the installation is running with elevated system privileges, users can browse through directories that their own permissions would not allow.
Steps for applying this Tweak
- Open your Registry
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
- Create or modify dword called "AllowLockdownBrowse"
- Set value as 0 to disable or as 1 to enable this tweak
- Restart windows or logoff for setting to take effect
