I Couldn't get Jimmy's instruction at the bottom of his post to do anything
as the box was not ticked in the first place.
However, it did work after I first ticked the "run as admin" box. and exited
the properties dialog and tried to run the offending program which of course
was not allowed to start up.
I then redid Jimmy's instructions and unticked the "run as admin" box and
hey presto my unidentified program started up.
I haven't tried doing a restart yet - but let's not spoil the joy of the
moment with such trivia.

I do not (and do not need to or want to) run this program as

I only checked the admin checkbox to see if this is a way to lose the
returning question. It did nothing so I turned off again.

So, if I (now) understand correctly ... the program is prompting, and you do
NOT want it to pompt because you do NOT want to run it as an administrator?

I don't think I've ran accross this problem before. If the program was
DESIGNED for Vista, it should have a manifest telling Windows to always run
it as an administrator (and this would be the correct behavior, since you
have to assume the application knows what it's talking about); however, if
it was NOT designed for Vista (as should be the case), it should NOT
automatically prompt you.

Try this:

- right-click your program's .exe file
- click properties
- click compatability
- click Show settings for all users
- Make sure the run as admin box is unchecked
- Click OK twice

I use a number of small unsigned utilities for overclocking and monitoring
that all needed to be rid of the dreaded pop-up. Besides the admin rights,
going to the main properties page for the .exe, clearing the read-only box
and clicking the UNBLOCK box at the bottom that usually exists for unsigned
apps fixed them all. Just to be sure, I did the same for the few .sys and
..dll that had the UNBLOCK button associated with these utils. It worked and
I have no idea why I never noticed this before. Good hunting.

Just to let you know it is still working after several start-ups.

I have the same problem, I think you should have no need to open a
unidentified program if the administrator has given the ok already for
that one program, and if a user was given full access to the program
then it shouldn't need administrator permission even if its
unidentified, I have to keep asking my admin to put in the pass just to
access the xp (service pack 2) program that has been dubbed by Vista as
unidentified, and my admin is getting frustrated at me and not the OS.
