How do I globally turn off Data Execution Protection in Vista?

DEP is killing me on a special piece of forensic software I need to run. The individual exception is not working. How do I globally kill DEP?

Thank you,

Mike

To disable:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

To enable:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn

To verify current setting:
wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_SupportPolicy

0 AlwaysOff DEP is disabled for all processes.
1 AlwaysOn DEP is enabled for all processes.
2 OptIn DEP is enabled for only Windows system components and services have DEP applied. Default setting.
3 OptOut DEP is enabled for all processes. Administrators can manually create a list of specific applications which do not have DEP applied.
