| | Account Control Issue I have a program (Linksys VOiP) that needs to load upon initial startup, but it is "blocked" by the account control until I physically allow it as the administrator. Does anyone know of a way for Vista to recognize program signatures that are routinely loaded so that the startup feature works as it is supposed to? I realize that account control cannot be disabled, and the Linksys program is already authorized to run as administrator and has a valid MS digital signature....not sure why it is being blocked. -- JB |

It is not recommended that you disable it. If, however, you are comfortable with running Vista without a major security feature, you can read this tutorial on how to enable/disable the UAC: User Account Control (UAC) I hope this helps. |

| | Re: Account Control Issue JD The best solution for this problem, without disabling any security components, is to use the Task Scheduler to creat a task that starts the program when you log on. This task can be run with highest privileges and no prompt from the User Account Control. See the following website for instructions and a small utility that automates creating the scheduled task. How do I run an administrative program (that needs my permission to start) every time I log in and prevent the "Windows has blocked some startup programs" message?: http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administ...n_program.aspx -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "JD Brown" <JDBrown@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6E230EA4-4405-4819-B18B-1BD05CBB0ED3@xxxxxx Quote: >I have a program (Linksys VOiP) that needs to load upon initial startup, >but > it is "blocked" by the account control until I physically allow it as the > administrator.
