Asking permission and batch files

[Rene Grothmann]

I have a batch (*.bat) file, which is calling a program to do
something. The program is "hand-installed", i.e. is is copied to a
folder directly under "c:\". The folder and all its entries (esp. the
program) have set all permissions for standard users. However, Windows
Vista is always asking me to let the program start or not. Is there
any easy way to allow this program to run without asking? Will it help
to copy it into my documents and adjust the batch file?

Thanks for answers,

René

Well, I had a look at the "Application Compatibility Toolkit"
recommended above, but could not work out how to handle it yet. Maybe
that is a solution, albeit a somewhat complicated one.

Running from an administrator prompt works, but might create files
with certain restricted rights. I will have to check if this works for
me. I could not find a "sudo" command to run the one problematic
program as administrator from the command prompt yet.

Thanks for your assistance.
