Allowing trusted programs through UAC
Is there a way to allow a trusted program through the user account control
without asking for permission every time? I log into my laptop as an administrator and there is one program that needs consent through the user account control in order to run. 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. |

Allowing trusted programs through UAC
Hello,
on 03/13, Jeff Smith from Microsoft said: "Unfortunately, no. There's no way to white-list specific applications. (If this were possible, there would be sneaky ways that evil programs could ride on the coattails of the good applications)." So I don't think it's possible without re-writing the application. Please correct me if I'm wrong. -- Greetings, P.

Allowing trusted programs through UAC
Is it possible to "re-write" the application using the Microsoft Application
Compatibility Toolkit? Or is this tool for something different altogether? "P. Di Stolfo" wrote: Hello, on 03/13, Jeff Smith from Microsoft said: "Unfortunately, no.

Allowing trusted programs through UAC
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 only other option to do without turning UAC off, is to elevate the administrator accounts so they alone will not be bothered by the UAC prompts and still have UAC on. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/80...ege-level.html Hope this helps, Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.* |

Maybe you could try to start it using the schedduler instead of the startup folder (rights are not the same) regards -- Olivier |

Thad Student, Under Option One, Method Two will show you how to have that program startup with Vista using Task Scheduler instead to bypass UAC. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79...e-disable.html Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com/index.php?referrerid=2980) *Please post feedback to help others.* |

Thad
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?: http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administ...n_program.aspx -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Thad Student" wrote in message ...
