UAC

[TheOtherGuy]

I have a program that UAC blocks until I click OK every time I log on.
Is there a way of permanently unblocking/OK'ing (ie.- registry entry
or similar) it so that it will simply run without intervention?

The program is part of Embassy Trust Suite (fingerprint scanner and
security) but is not shown in the Startup programs group nor as one of
the startup items in MSCONFIG so I can only assume that it's fired up
by another program.

The best solution for this problem, without disabling any security
components, is to use the Task Scheduler to creat a task that starts the
program when you log on. This task can be run with highest privileges and no
prompt from the User Account Control.

See the following website for instructions and a small utility that
automates creating the scheduled task.

Download and run the Startup Unblocker utility. It will give you a list of
all programs that are configured to start at bootup. Each item will have a
drop down menu that you can use to select 'run as administrator'. When you
select
this option for an item, the Scheduled Task will be automatically created.
The next
time you restart, the program should run without prompting.

How do I run an administrative program (that needs my permission to start)
every time I log in and prevent the "Windows has blocked some startup
programs" message?:

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try downloading the Startup Unblocker
Utility but as I said in my post:

"it is not shown in the Startup programs group nor as one of the
startup items in MSCONFIG so I can only assume that it's fired up by
another program. "

So I would still need a way to disable this program from being
launched but whatever is launching it now.

I use TweakUAC. It lets you turn off the notification (silent mode).
