Mode for the built-in administrator account. When the Admin Approval Mode is enabled, the local
administrator account functions like a standard user account, but it has the ability to elevate
privileges without logging on by using a different account. In this mode, any operation that
requires elevation of privilege displays a prompt that allows the administrator to permit or deny
the elevation of privilege. If Admin Approval Mode is not enabled, the built-in Administrator
account runs all applications by default with full administrative privileges. By default, Admin
Approval Mode is set to Disabled.
