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 'run as administrator'. When you
select
this option for an item, the Scheduled Task will be automatically
created.

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?:

I have the tool, but I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing with it. I
guess
I'll have to read some of the documents that came with it. Otherwise...
It
doesn't seem to be making a difference so far...

The program is Cisco Clean Access Agent. The geek squad at my school
installed it so I can log onto the school's wireless network with my
laptop.

This program is initiated through the Start Menu | Startup folder. I
can't
see why this shouldn't be possible because there are about 10 other
programs
starting when I log on (including some from the startup menu), and
the
Cisco
app is the only one asking for permission.

Hi Thad Student,

You can try this to see if it will work for you.

Thad, the agent does NOT require UAC if run as a regular user. If run as an
administrator, it does.

Here's a note I received from Cisco support -

"What you are seeing is unfortunately expected behavior. With 4.1.3.1 we
ask for the highest available privileges. As an admin this produces a
UAC prompt to give all privileges. There has been an enhancement bug
filed to change the behavior in future versions."

Problem I have with this is that it'll convince folks to come up with
workarounds or disable UAC when its not necessary. While seemingly trivial,
I see it as one of those ounce of prevention vs pound of cure situations.

Greetings all, I had the same issue and resolved by right clicking the
program select compatibility and tick off "Run this program as an
administrator" Very simple though don't know if this is the most secure
workaround.
