Vista - Winrar vs Vista

Everytime i use winrar (trillion times a day)

User Account Control reports "an unidentified program wants to access your
computer"

It's not "unidentified" - I know what it is, i trust it & it's *my*
computer - not Microsoft's

How do i tell UAC that?

Or is it a Vista fail safe device to only allow the use of Microsoft
Software?

UAC isn't that smart.
If the writer of the program doesn't properly re-code it for Vista+UAC,
you'll see that every time.
Check if there is a newer version of WinRAR
I don't expect to have to rewrite a program every time an OS is
upgraded...but MS must get kickbacks from ther makers of software they break
with newer releases of Windows.

It doesn't surprise me that some Microsoft money making scheme is behind it
and it's about time monopolies commission started looking at this behavior

I will check if there's later version but there should always be a way to
communicate *your* wishes to *your* own computer

That ranks right up there with Vista telling me I don't have "Permission" to
delete a file. I guess I need to call Gates and ask him first.

WinRAR runs just fine on my Vista Home Premium system. Of course, I turned
that miserable UAC off as soon as I figured out how to. That has solved a
multitude of problems, and none of the dire predictions about massive virus
infections have materialized yet.

If I want to delete a file, I highlight the file, then hit the delete key.
File gone. No problem.

You can disable the UAC or you can install WINRAR outside the "program files" directory and that should fix your problem. (iirc).

Good Luck.

easier just turn it off

Turning it off should not be the only option given. Some users need UAC to keep them safe and use the "feature" alot. Removing it should not be the only solution

ive had vista for a few years and i still dont see how that account thing does anything but annoy you when you try open a file

Well, if you don't see how it helps there's no point in you commenting is there? If you find clicking a box annoying more than getting your bank details stolen or emails read then fair enough.

Disable it if you know what your doing. Don't disable it if you don't.
