| | User Account Control When I boot up, the UAC box asks for permission to run my netgear wireless adapter. I say continue and everything is fine. It is somewhat annoying though. Can I have this program run without it asking for permission? Someone mentioned to right click the .exe file and click run as administrator might work, but I'm afraid I might make things even worse. Like I said everything works just a minor inconvenience. -- gfrank26@comcast.net |

Run as administrator will force the UAC dialog, not stop it. Only do that if the program needs to run as administrator, and Vista doesn't recognize that, so it doesn't run unless Run as Admistrator is selected. One workaround is to set it up as a Scheduled Task http://bertk.mvps.org/html/dualboot.html -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

| | Re: User Account Control Is this a little baloon in the system tray? That happens because you have something in your startup items that wants to elevate. UAC in combination with Windows Defender blocks that. Take whatever it is out of the startup grop and the baloon will go away. To modify it, the easiest way is to click the flag, type msconfig.exe in the search dialog and hit enter. You will see all the auto-start items in the startup tab. Uncheck the one you want and reboot. You will get the flag one more time, this time for msconfig, which warns you that you customized your system. Select to run it from the baloon popup and then check the dialog box to stop warning you and the warnings go away. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Rock" wrote: > "George Frank" <gfrank26@comcast.net> wrote > > When I boot up, the UAC box asks for permission to run my netgear wireless > > adapter.
