Are you talking about the built-in "Administrator" (capital 'A')
account?

You can't, only the "Protected Administrator" accounts have that option.
When you create a new admin account, it should automatically be a
"Protected Administrator" (split or filtered token) account even if the
UAC prompts are disabled.
 
To enable UAC for the built in administrator account

Start | in the search box type secpol.msc and press enter | Expand Local
Policies | Security Options

Scroll down the list of policies until you come too

User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator

Set this to enable and press ok

Then from a command prompt type gpupdate

Which only exists in Vista Business and Ultimate.....not in Basic or Home
Premium....
 
So what is the purpose of this option ?
