| | Always Automatically Allow a Certain Program Every time I boot up, User Account Control pops up and asks me if I want to allow this program to run "PSDiagnostic.exe". This program has to do with the functionality of my wireless print server and it needs to run or the printer on my print server will not function. If I allow the program to run everything is fine, but I would rather not have to be bothered with this during every boot up. I know I can disable User Account Control to avoid this, but is there a way I can leave User Account Control active and still allow this program to run automatically during boot up? Like is there a list of exceptions that I could add it to? |

| | Re: Always Automatically Allow a Certain Program Hello, Charlie42; The fix worked, thank you! I wouldn't say it worked like a charm, though, as it was a contorted and convoluted way to deal with what should have been a simple matter to be able to fix WITHIN the OS. MS still has a way to go in terms of usability and friendliness.

| | Re: Always Automatically Allow a Certain Program Unfortunately, as of Jun 26, Knowledge base reports that this article is no longer available. SO, I still need a solution that allows a non-signature older program to run without asking EVERY TIME I try to run it whether I really want to run it. How can I permanently and once for all tell the system that the program is ok?
