| | quick question is there any way of setting the pc to not ask me for administator privilege every time it does the time sync? reason i ask is because i have another program other than the system clock, it is a talking clock and it acts and looks like the system clock but requires admin privilege every time i boot my pc, is there any way of letting any user do the time sync? -- New Boating Capt.

| | Re: quick question Hi, Not until the program is rewritten to run properly under Vista. Likely it is trying to write to the program files folder in which it is installed rather than the virtual directory created for it in the user's runtime environment. To do so it needs elevated privileges, something that is not enabled by default in Vista. If you disable UAC, it may resolve the issue, but then you will be disabling some of the security design built into Vista. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Translator French - English - Creole" <jonperreault@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C6467BFB-7B67-41F7-98CA-F5160037CD20@xxxxxx Quote: > is there any way of setting the pc to not ask me for administator > privilege every time it does the time sync? reason i ask is because i have > another program other than the system clock, it is a talking clock and it > acts and looks like the system clock but requires admin privilege every > time i boot my pc, is there any way of letting any user do the time sync? > > -- > New Boating Capt.

| | Re: quick question well what i meant is it's the system asking me for the admin privilege not the program. eveytime i go to modify the time whether it's manual setting or automatic time sync it askes me to make sure that i give it the privilege, so what i was wandering is, is it possible to tell vista that the time settings can be changed by any user, just like when you give the rights for a user to do certain stuff. -- New Boating Capt.

| | Re: quick question A matter of semantics here - Administrative priveleges are not required to set the time. A "standard user" can set the time - the dialogue presented is not asking for "credentials" but to acknowledge the action. An Admistrator is also presented with the "do you want to continue" request - however if a standard user attempts to perform a task requiring Administrator status, they ae presented with a second request, after acknowledgeing "continue", asking for an Administrator ID and password.

| | Re: quick question Would not recommend disabling UAC - it performs other importan functions. For example, UAC works in concert with IE7 to provide "protected mode" - as indicated in lower right hand corner of !E 7 as "protected mode on". This mode requires files to be downloaded to a temporary location and if you attempt a download and select the "run" option, the mode creates "virtual" system folders (including virtualized registry) in which it allows the application to run. If the mode determines there is no adverse action on the part of the download the application is then permited to access "real" system locations. The above is a small fraction of UAC and "Protectted mode", which by the way is only available with IR7 and Vista.
