Vista Tutorial - ActiveX Control prompt "An ActiveX control on this page might be u

Hello All,

am using an ActiveX Control to load my app in Media-Center Vista and i get a
prompt "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with
other parts...".

Though when i right-click on media center and run as admin, and then launch
my app in media center, i dont get any prompts. Also the prompt goes away for
ever after running as admin even if i run as user untill i un-register my
ActiveX control and register is back.

But now i cannot ask user to run media center as admin (once) to get rid of
the prompt,

what can i do it programmatically (C++) to get rid of this prompt in the
first place?

Also if someone know what happens once to that ActiveX control once i run as
admin

thanks

You said the problem goes away for ever when you run as admin......OK
Once you register this ActiveX control as admin its registered as OK
to run in future, if you unregister it obviously the prompt will come
back.

Not sure what you are getting at here, whats the problem? What you
have described looks like it is working correctly to me.

Thanks for your reply,

and yes, the problem goes away for ever when i run media-center as admin
(i.e. right click MC and run as admin) and not ActiveX, I have to rightclick
command prompt, run cmd as admin and then register my ActiveX, and it still
prompts.

So the prompt stays when i run Media Center directly (w/o rtclick..).

lemme know if there is a different way to register my ActiveX as admin or a
programmatical way to give it admin rights

thanks
