Vista - how to register a software as "trusted" ?

Hi !

I use Windows Vista Ultimate and have installed Adobe Photoshop CS3(among
other software of course). It runs smoothly when I launch it from the start
menu, without prompts/whatever.
But, when I right click on a picture and go to "open with..." menu and try
to open it with Photoshop, I get a popup message, saying that an
"unidentified software wants acces to your computer". Clicking "allow",
Photoshop will start up normally, with the desired picture opened.
I'd like to "skip" this popup and open Photoshop & picture automatically. I
suppose this is an UAC thing, but to be honest, I have no idea what to change
there. Additionally, I wouldn't disable such feature, rather "register"
photoshop to be somehow "trusted". Is there anything I can do to fix this ?

Thanks for any tip !

It's probably not Photoshop that's the issue, but rather the file itself
that you right clicked on.

I don't think that's it
The popup clearly says that it's Photoshop.exe from an unknown
publisher(like lol).

If you right-click your shortcut to Photoshop, and choose Properties, on the
Compatibility tab, is there a checkmark in the box next to "Run this program
as administrator"? If there is, un-check that, and then click Apply, and
then click OK. If your shortcut doesn't have the Compatibility tab, go to
C:\Program Files\Adobe and find Photoshop.exe, and make the changes by
right-clicking on that file.

Are these files in one of your user folders or somewhere else on the drive?

Are these .jpg pictures ones downloaded from the internet? Or were they
extracted form a .zip file that was downloaded from the Internet? If you
right-click on a .jpg picture that causes this warning, and choose
Properties, does it have an Unblock button? If so, click on Unblock, and
then Apply, OK.

Yes, and many text files I've downloaded when I right-click on them say the
same thing only naming notepad.exe as the application. Microsoft is not
known for making their various messages and their meanings clear.

Nope, this kind of popup happens with any kind of picture(downloaded or not -
as a general idea, 99% of them are taken by me)
but regardless this, opening a file the way I try to shouldn't be an
issue...no unlock button, no nothing

Run gpedit.msc and see if you have group policies available to edit. If you
do, go to Computer Config--Windows Settings--Security settings--Local
Policies--Security Options.
At the bottom of the list are the UAC options. I think you may find an
answer in enabling/disabling one of those regarding running software.
