I am logged in as an administrator. However, if I try to run Erunt by
left clicking the program, I get an error message. So, I right click and choose 'Run as an Administrator' and it works fine. Why should I have to do this? |

Go into All Programs and find Erunt. Then right click on it Properties Advanced Check the box "Run as Administrator" Apply OK. Now you need not go thru the mimic each time any more. But you will still get the usual UAC window. PS: To answer your initial question: Yes you are the admin. But a few programs require admin mode (cmd is another one). This is to protect your system against malware and is usually applied to programs that can make major changes in your system.. -- whs |

I tried doing what you suggested in the program folder - but that option "Run As Administrator" isn't there. |

I also tried your suggestion on another program that I have to right click on and select "Run As Administrator" in order for it to open with all options. This program had the check box to "Run As Administrator" and I checked it off. However, that didn'y work either. I still have to do the "right click" and select "Run As Administrator." |

ERUNT is best run in the background. This can be accomplished by the
following TaskScheduler script. Adjusted for you system of course. BTW, I sent this to the author of ERUNT and he approved of it. I included the .xml file in this message for those of you who do not want to open attachments. But they are the same, and the attachment can be imported directly to task schedular.

Upon rereading this post, I realized that the most important reason for
running ERUNT from this task is that it runs *before* UAC becomes active. Therefore, you do not get an elevation requests. It runs seamlessly and without any need for the user to do anything.
