I have an old program and I need to run in my Win 7x64
When I run it, the user account control will give a warning dialog box:
User Account Control: Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer? yes/no

the program name: dailyscreen.exe
publisher: unknown
file origin: hard drive on this computer

How can I make this computer to recognize this program and do not keep asking this same question everyday for every system in this entire office floor?

Thank you.

You might also want to turn off User Account Control, and it can be done by going to start menu -> click on your user thumbnail -> Change User Account Control settings -> and slide the slider to "Never notify", so that it never notifies of anything.

I think the whole UAC is useless.

Turning off UAC isn't a good idea. Imagine a software is downloaded without you knowing; it can run, and you won't even get to know that!

How's possible that I survived with XP, without UAC and without viruses? UAC is (good?) for keeping an eye on what users are doing (if you're an administrator), but if your the only user on a computer, UAC is nothing.

I never use the UAC, it's an P.I.T.A and basically useless. If one has a good AV and firewall, then there should be no issues.

Most anti virus programs, including the, for the moment, controversial MSE, will alert you if this happens.

Attachment 1168

imo UAC has no ant virus capabilities, it is merely a text warning which, unfortunately, most users ignore with a single mouse click.

thank you for all your responses.
We have set the XP compatibility tab on and off, the user account control warning still comes.
No, we do not wish to turn off the user account control for all programs. We just want to turn of this particular program which we use everyday all the time by everybody in the office here.
