| | How do I always allow a program access in UAC? I read the "answer" post about UAC, and was wondering why when I set something to "run as administrator" in it's Properties it does not do so on an Administrator account? On the Guest account I have set up the program runs without asking for any kind of verification or admin password, but it always asks for such when run from the administrator account. What has gone wrong here? Is there some way to make a program "trusted" (like all Microsoft products) so that it doesn't ever need verification for all accounts on a system? |

Turning off UAC completely may cause compatibilty problems with some programs. I would recommend that you elevate the administrator accounts so they will not be bugged by UAC instead, and still have UAC turned on for IE7 (Protected Mode) and Standard accounts. You can see how here. User Account Control (UAC) - Elevate Privilege Level Shawn |

It is puzzling why you need to elevate on the admin account, but not the guest account. Maybe somebody else has an idea. ss. |

I did not want to turn off the UAC, but wanted not to get bothered everytime I ran a safe program. Now I can do that. Thanks |

It is puzzling why you need to elevate on the admin account, but not the guest account. Maybe somebody else has an idea. ss. If a computer has more than one person using it, the admin. may not want the Guest or Standard accounts to have UAC turned off, but does not want to have to deal with it themselves. Just one reason I suppose. Shawn |

| | Re: How do I always allow a program access in UAC? See, that's the weird part for me. I already did that (going into Properties) for the program and that allowed it to run fine on a Guest account, but the Admin account is still asked for verification each time. I dunno what it's problem is, really.

| | Re: How do I always allow a program access in UAC? Thanks, I'll try this. Though I'm really looking for a way to make programs marked as "run as administrator" not cause confirmation boxes to pop up. I've already told Vista I trust the program, why does it keep bothering me?

Turning off the prompts while keeping UAC enabled is analogous to having a burglar alarm installed in your home - but with the alarm turned off so you don't ever get disturbed by it. UAC *is* the prompts. Without those, you may as well turn it off completely. -- Jon |
