After installing vista ultimate I created a new administrative account and changed my account type to standard user then disabled UAC. When I login as my standard user and use Run As Administrator the application runs with no prompt as my standard user. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, - Kurt

Hi, I have a application which writes data to the HKLM key. This is system wide app data, used by all users of the program (regardless of login name etc) in fact some of it is shared between programs. What am I supposed to do under Vista - where should I write this data to?, does it stay in the registry or become a txt file? I've had a look around MSDN and can't find any guidelines apart...

Hello, I believe I have the situation where a "low" privileged app is sending windows messages to an IE7 in protected mode and thereby the messages are not allowed to pass thru. How can I get these messages to be allow to pass? Is ChangeWindowMessageFilter the answer?

Hi, I'm very impressed with vista. I like it a lot. I can see that there was a tremendous amount of work going on and the visuals are very nice. Lots of eyecandy. But the main reason I like it, as a developer is the underlying massive enhancements of the security architecture. And very nice features lie the TXM and much more. I have seen some minor things but no showstopper for me. I'm very...

Hi guys, short but significant question: Next to the restriction to write to "C:\program files" directory are their other restrictions in that location? I mean what's the deal with that location if I cannot write lets say application session files there? I would prefer to install my app to C:\MyApplication rather to the program files folder. Do I gain disadvantages because of such a step?

Heya Guys, I guess alot of us with Trend Micro antivirus are thinking about this but what are we to do for antivirus, starting the first of the year. my subscription is up then. Mcfee sucks, Norton is only offering 30day trial of theyre beta??? Why?? Symantec needs some help when offering beta stuff. If Microsoft did that we'd all get 30 days of vista then we'd be forced to go back, or buy a...

Hi, I think we are in big trouybles with Vista RTM. I "love" the product and install ot witout any trouble BUT when you begin to install what you need problems are coming. UAC is not the spource of the problem for me (I think). I disable it to be sure to be able to install "correctly" some application not yet compatible with Vista (may be it is the point ... application are not compatible...

Hello everybody, By design, our product has a set of applications which have "requireAdministrator" in the manifest and a set of other which have "asInvoker". These applications use (when needed) a signle multi-use out-proc server which has "asInvoker" in the manifest and does not need to be run elevated (we even prohibit it from running elevated). The problem that we see is when a client app...

RegCreateKeyEx always fails on Vista 64-bit. The error code is 5. Does anyone know what is necessary to allow Reg Key creation on Vista 64?

Running RC2 with default UAC settings and default filesystem ACLs, logged in as an administrator, I pressed win+e to open windows explorer (thus explorer was not run as administrator) and browsed to another user's home directory, and read a file therein, and got no UAC confirmation prompt. Wasn't I supposed to get a prompt?

How can I set pemissions for more than 1 file? When I select several files and open their properties I can't see "Security" tab. I know that I can set permissions on folder level, but sometimes it's not very convenient.

When clicking a link on a web site to provide feedback via e-mail (one that starts with 'mailto:'), a window pops up asking for permission to start the default mail program (in my case Outlook 2007). The window has two options: Allow and Don't allow. That's good! But after clicking Don't allow, a message appears "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not...

I'm curious to know whether there is a diffence in IE security vulnerability between running Vista with UAC enabled (hence IE is in protected mode, versus, running Vista with UAC disabled, with the user NOT in the local admins group. Thanks

I have been successful in reading the registry on remote Vista systems --for the most part. I have no trouble reading the HKCU keys. I can read most of the HKLM keys. However, I have found that some of the HKLM keys are not accessible for reading. For example, I can read any value within the following remote registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion But if I try to...

Hello, In other threads, I've seen recommendations to in order to circumvent the vista permissions dialogs that they build their .net application with a manifest in a particular way. How to do the equivalent from C++? Is there a "manifest" technique?

DON'T DISABLE the UAC and be happy to use Windows as a Standard Account.

Hi, Vista RTM. New install. I become a little bit crazy when trying to do "simple things" ! I have administrator rigths ans I disabled UAC directly after finishing installing Vista. Everything is installing perfectly ... right now ;-)

HI! Vista has automagically made some compatibility settings for some applications, namely "ElevateCreateProcess". How can I delete these settings (I want to try again with a different version of the apps)? I can see them in the Compatibility Wizard and in the Application Compatibility Manager (from ACT 5.0). But neither of them seem to be

Hi, I'm running Vista 64bit, and so far everything is just working as advertise, except for one thing (an important one though) When I try to login to my bank (TD Canada Trust), I get to the login just right, but when I click the login (after I entered ID, and password), all I get is an error page that tells me to make sure that the SSl and TLS is enable (they are all enable)
