allow a blocked program to automatically run on start up

Hi Dave,

Yeah UAC can be a pain sometimes, but it can be helpful if a program tries to use administrator privileges without you knowing it. There is a way to leave UAC on for the protection and turn off most of the annoying pop-ups though. Just elevate the administrators privilege level. See this link for how to do it for all Vista versions if your interested.

User Account Control (UAC) - Elevate Privilege Level

What do you want me to say?

It's your problem not mine. I don't have a problem with UAC being enabled.
If you want to turn UAC off then turn it off, because there is nothing
stopping you from doing that. After all, it's your computer, and you do
with it what you want.

I think you're about to make much to do about nothing about your opinions
that I don't want to hear. Everyone's got an opinion and they are a dime a
dozen.

There is no discussion and there is no debate, and I don't want to hear
about your dozen.

Geez, all I asked was why you want to leave it on. Couldn't you merely
have given an answer to that simple question instead of getting all bent
out of shape? jeez! (shaking my head in wonderment at such anger at a
simple question of curiosity) I had already mentioned I wasn't intending
to be argumentative--i'm merely curious, dude!

thanks again, Shawn. I read the page, but I'm not following how
changing the prompting provides the same protection (ie how is the user
alerted to a possible errant program action?). sorry to be dense!

Here is my answer <plank> that's a soft logical <plonk> now move along and
find someone else to harass.

Dave,

No, your not dense. It doesn't provide as good of protection as it would by leaving UAC on completely, but it is better than turning UAC off. It has almost the same protection except it will no longer ask when you run something as the administrator. Think if it as a limited version. I have UAC on, and once I got everything installed and setup it really doesn't bug me that much. I would rather be safe than sorry later. Of course I suppose this depends on how much you do to trigger UAC for how much it bugs you.

Shawn

Why would a person, who wants the maximum amount of security possible for
his computer, NOT want to leave UAC turned on?

UAC has been beaten to death. Do as you want for your computer.

I, and most others, will leave it as it is.

Because UAC is a pain in the ass, dumb as a rock, and a productivity
killer.

Marauder, I believe you may find this helpful.
