options. The problem is that every time it's software runs at startup
(the application launches via the Startup start menu group) the UAC
kicks off and ask for consent for it to run. Obviously this is very
annoying. Normally you only see this when you install something or if
you try to access a high level admin type tool, as I understand it.
Is there some way to permanently consent to this application running
at startup? If the application isn't running the mouse doesn't
function properly. I tried using the compatibility option to have it
run with administrator privileges, but that didn't make any
difference.

I'm very computer literate, but Vista is a strange beast.

Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

Yes, you can create a task in Task Schedular for this startup program then remove it from the startup program list afterwards.

You can see how to in Option One, Method Two in this tutorial.

Startup Programs - Enable or Disable

Hope this helps,
