C:\Windows\System32\UserAccountControlSettings.exe
I assume you are looking for the command to open the User Account Control applet from the Windows Run command. To do this, in the Run box type useraccountcontrolsettings then click OK to get directly to the User Account Control Settings window.
You can also enable and disable via CMD:
Disable:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Enable:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
