Vista - Application blocked at startup!

Hi,

I set my logitech Setpint utility (for keyboard & mice) to "Run as
Administrator" for all users in startup folder, but it is still blocked by
windows defender after reboot, and I have to click and allow it again. How
can I prevent Windows Defender to block this every time I restart my PC?


System: Vista Business SP1

Setpoint Properties (on right-mouse click menu)/Security tab... elevate
permissions for Everyone.

Phillips,

Thanks for the reply, I assigned Full control to "Everyone" to setpoint.exe
file and the shortcut in startup folder, but Windows Defender still prevents
it from starting-up as administrator.

start by going to Windows Defender's Software Explorer and set the
program's short-cut in WD as a Start-up All users application, you
browse to the short-cut and you *Allow*. If the program needs no
Administrator rights to start, then you don't set Run As Administrator
for the short-cut that makes it prompt for Administrator credentials.

Of course, you have to set Windows Defender's short-cut to Run As
Administrator by right-clicking the menu line short-cut that starts WD
and going to Properties/Advanced button, so that you have the privileges
to make the change.

Hello Med,

Since you have the startup program Run as administrator it will get blocked like that from the Startup folder. Instead, you will need to create a task for it Task Scheduler to run at startup to avoid being blocked. Method Two under Option One in this tutorial will help show you how to.

Startup Programs - Enable or Disable

Hope this helps,

I have run into that several times, it irritates me every time I do it.
There is absolutely no reason for that type of incompetence when designing
an OS.
It's also one of the reasons Vista won't be making an appearance on my LAN
unless it is tiotally reworked to be functional. Maybe with SP 7...

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the suggestion.

When I googled this problem, I actually came across that URL you sent me,
but I overlooked it. I created a Task to launch Setpoint.exe "on logon",
via Trigger/Action, however it was failing to start. After spending
sometime on this, I realised that even though task was running using my
local account(administrator) it was failing to start, which I still don't
undrestand why. I changed it to "Administrators" in General>Security
options and it fixed it!


Thanks Again

Med

Med,

I'm happy to hear that you got it to work for you now. Thank you for posting your results back with it to.
