Security permissions

[Nancy]

Is there anyway to set a certain program to open without all of the windows
that Vista insists on presenting me with. You'd think that after I open a
program a couple of times, an intuitive program would learn that I *want* it
to open and that it's not a hazard to the system. I have a couple of
programs that no matter how I set permissions, the darn computer always asks
me if I opened the program, if I trust it, and if I want to open it.

it's very irritating, in fact, the most irritating thing I've found about
Vista so far.

Thanks to Personal Computer World uk magazine (Feb 2009) for pointing me in
the right direction to find this on the web.

Thank you. It worked. Took a few minutes to figure out some of the stuff,
but it worked. I'll have to save the page so I can find it if this comes up
again. It's a shame that you have to jump through so many hoops just to run
a program that you use frequently.

If that's too hard, find TweakUAC and obtain, install, and use it.

I found that much simpler
