Startup blocked

I am trying to run a program at startup that is continually being
blocked at startup by the UAC and thus defeats the purpose of doing
so. I think I need to change the permissions of the program in order
to get this to work, but am not sure of what the correct approach is
to doing this. What setting do I need to change and how do I get them
to lock in. I am also running this program in XP compatibility mode
if that makes a difference. I am the sole user/administrator of this
PC.

Thanks

Re: Startup blocked

Right click the program > choose properties > then choose advanced > check the run as admin > which still might need a UAC not sure.

Re: Startup blocked

perhaps, you can turn off the user
account control.

it is found under "security" via
the system control panel.

Re: Startup blocked

To disable UAC prompts (aka "Quiet Mode") NOT UAC.
Run Regedit and navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
Change the value of ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin from "2" to "0".

Re: Startup blocked

Turning off UAC is a very bad idea and is not recommended.
