UAC not allowing a startup program
I have Trillian (from Cerillian Studios) in my Startup folder so that it
begins as soon as I logon. But the UAC is blocking it and I have to manually allow it (and confirm it even doing it manually). Q1: how can I get the UAC to accept Trillian as an allowed program? Q2: if I can't - how can I at least get the program to start w/o having to manually start it? -- + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes Yahoo IM: chrisnbarnes |

UAC not allowing a startup program
I presume you have a shortcut for the Trillian program in your Startup folder. Have you right clicked the shortcut and set the option for Run as Administrator? -- LeeTutor |

UAC not allowing a startup program
You need to get a better understanding about it first:
1. How to launch Programs during the Startup http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008...ms-during.html 2. There's a possibility that it will be blocked, so read this also: http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008...e-startup.html 3. If you want to remove/disable start-up programs, he http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008...-programs.html I hope this helps... |

UAC not allowing a startup program
So are we saying that whether or not the program lists in the startup folder, we should be trying to find the problem program's executable, right-click it, select compatibility tab, tick 'run as administrator? Or am I, by a bit clearly offering help, presuming too much here and before a program can be run as an administrator, it 'must' first list in startup folder? The latter, i think not, as in my Vista Ho-Prem 32b SP1 os, the startup folder lists nothing and yet I have many many programs that start at boot-up, and none of them save AutoRunEater are being prevented from running by either UAC or Defender. Of note, when I turn UAC off and configure Defender to allow a program to run, if I recall correctly, thereafter my problem program is allowed w/o so much as a prompt, but only so long as I do not allow Defender to run at startup and/or allow UAC to run (as thereafter the program is removed from Defender's allowed list, etc., etc., etc. "What a tangled web we weave." -- wguru |
