Some small programs I haved installed (as speedfan ) any time I execute it
the UAC asks for pemission, how can I tell to windows do not ask more for
permissions for this program? Thanks
 
I had to replace a CPU on a computer that a customer bought me. He installed
SpeedFan. He went to change something in the settings and it turned OFF his
CPU fan and burned up the processor. He also was getting warnings that he
turned off, though he doesn't know what the warnings said.

You can go to the executable, right click on it, choose "Properties", choose
"Compatibility", then choose "Run this program as an administrator", then
click "Apply".

Have you tried this?

It doesn't work. You still get the UAC prompt asking your permission to run
it.
 
Yea, you can do that but, it will still prompt you to Allow. There must be
some type of acception list or something. Some programs "NEED" to be run as
an admin or they wont work at all (including some games). This is really
anoying that I have to click allow everytime try to run some programs...
 
Microsoft ? Are you listening ????

Thanks for the reply but, I do see people disabling UAC because of this
issue. Shouldn't Vista understand when you run a program 2-3 times a day
that it is safe to allow with out prompting every time ?????

Just my thoughts....

The UAC team covered this in a recent interview on Channel 9.

At least make it an option to allow a specific program to run without asking
permissions in the future. I have speedfan installed and don't get asked.
Go figure.
 
Of course that doesn't work. That setting forces you to get that prompt, not
gets rid of it :)

If you want to reach Microsoft, you are writing in the wrong place.

That creates other problems. On balance, I prefer it on.

I certainly understand your point of view, but don't understand the issues
clearly enough to have an opinion one way or the other on this.
 
you can't. I wish i could do that to. I know it's really annoying. But so
far that i know of there is no solution to that.

Doesn't anyone from Microsoft look over these groups time to time to see for
product thoughts or what the consumer thinks of their products ?

I do agree, I have mine enabled. I will admit, I was doing a major file
cleanup over 3 drives on my PC (cleaned about about 45gb of space, some
large files but, a lot of smaller files), after about 10 min of getting
double prompted for each file I wanted to delete, I disabled UAC, rebooted,
did my file cleanup, then re-enabled it. Things like this make it a
nightmare to get things done in a fair time, the extra 1-2 clicks over a
time can really get to someone.

I guess you'll run into that one app. Like for example, Nero (CD burning
software), to create a temp file when copying a DVD/CD it will bomb out,
unless it has admin rights (can't write a temp file), So I right click on
the shortcut to always run as an admin, so now I click on the short cut, and
have to click another time to allow. There are 4 programs on my machine that
I use all the time, incuding one game that need admin rights to run, and
it's getting to be a real pain to click 2 times everytime I want to run
them.

I can see why people would think about disabling UAC, and I would understand
it. Just wish there was some type of acception list where we can configure
the apps that need to be run that way.

I do wonder on a domain, if it could be set by a policy....any idea on that
one ?
 
Someone recently posted this link about UAC:

It's excellent. Anyone who objects to UAC should view it.

Here we go again... It isn't that people object to better security,
rather how poorly Microsoft implemented it with their half-ass UAC
that laughingly took them 5 years to "develop" and oh I'd say about
ten seconds for all users to hate.

The so-called User Account Control will go down in the Software Hall
of Shame along with Windows version ME and everybody's favorite BOB.

Honorable mention also goes to Media Player. On the 11th version and
STILL don't know how to find or install CODECS correctly. Also Windows
Exploer that no matter how you patch the Registry with "fixes" won't
generate thumnails on some AVI flavors and not even on properly
encoded MPEG-2 files.

Media Player however will constantly ask if you want it to download
its own audio codec because it is too stupid to know it already IS
installed and other applications find it and use it with no problems
in the System32 folder.
 
Aero even works!!!

What's wrong with Bob. Works great on Vista.
 
And you believe the matrix is real?
