    Hi,

    I have enabled location sensor from my Windows 7 application using RequestPermissions API. Windows opened up the location control panel asking the user permission to enable sensor. 

    And once enabled, is there a way to reset the permissions. 

    barani.

    Delete the registry key “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Sensors\Enable Dialog” and its sub-keys. The enable dialog will show again.

    Yes. If the customer goes to Start->Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Location and Other Sensors (or just types "location" into the Start menu), they will see a list of enabled sensors and can disable them.
