Allow Prog to Make Changes

I have a program installed in C:\Program Files as usual. When I run it I
get "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher
to make changes to this computer?"

I have flagged the exe to run as administrator, doesn't help. Is there a
way to disable the UAC message for only this program?

What program is that?
What kind of changes is it trying to make?
Are you sure it's UAC who stops it?
Have you tried to take ownership of that folder?

I have no idea what changes it wants to make. I'm not sure it's UAC who
stops it. Who else would stop it?

Downloaded and tried this. No change. Tried sharing the folder with
everyone. Doesn't help. All thoughts appreciated.

Hi, Zam.

Just to save everyone else the trouble of looking it up, that file
(Windows7Manager.exe) is NOT a part of Windows 7 - and it did not come from
Microsoft.

Bing gets 77 hits; the home website seems to be here:
http://www.yamicsoft.com/windows7manager/

"Windows 7 Manager is a system utility that helps you optimize, tweak, and
clean up Windows 7. It will increase your system speed, improve system
security, and meet all of your expectations"

WHY did you think you need this program? What did you expect it to do for
YOU? What gives you confidence that this program is not Snake Oil? Have
you seen reviews or reports about it from reliable sources? And, probably
most important...

Did you set a Restore Point before you tried to install it?

I've never heard of the program or tried it, so obviously I can't comment on
its merits. But installing any .exe file without a clear understanding of
what it will do is NOT "practicing safe hex". Maybe UAC just saved your
electronic life.

I would be a little afraid and a lot leery of a program that wants to make
untold changes to my system. You didn't give them a credit card number, did
you?

Sounds like something I would avoid like the plague. Probably will cause
nothing but troubles. Its crap like this that people install and then
curse about how buggy and unusable Windows is.

LOL!!!
Is this post a complete joke?
Are you working for Microsoft?

Windows 7 Manager is a fantastic program, tested by thousands of users,
including myself. One of the many reviews you can find, if your boss allows
you to read something outside Microsoft.com:
http://www.laptopmag.com/review/soft...a-manager.aspx

Of course W7M gives you the option to create a restore point before any
change is applied. We are talking about GOOD software here, not Microsoft
crap. By the way, one of the first things I did after installing it was to
get rid of the annoying UAC!

Sorry, I meant 'please share your comments here', not sharing the folder!
:-)


Windows 7 Manager is a very good program.
Do you get that message when trying to install it or after it has been
installed?

If it's the second option, then you have installed W7 Manager and now you
want it to make some changes for you to your Window 7 system (like disabling
hibernate funcion, or remembering folder views, or whatever) and it is only
normal that Windows complains that you are trying to change it, because
that's what you're doing.

If you are SURE about the changes, then simply answer: 'YES, I want to allow
this program to make the changes'.

However, it is always a good idea to create a restore point before changing
anything, so that you can revert to the previous situation in case you don't
like the results. Fortunately, W7 Manager gives you the option to do that
before any change is made.

Please explain what changes you want W7 Manager to make and when do you get
that message, exactly.

Regards.

After it was installed. I get the error every time it runs, just when it
starts.

I was hoping to disable the warning just for this program. I wouldn't start
it without expecting that I might change something.

I'm pretty religious about restore points, and I have Acronis making images
of my C: drive every night. If something gets mangled I can go all the way
back.

I'm a developer, new to w7. Someone else on my crew suggested w7mgr and
it's handy.

Programs I write myself that make "changes to my computer" don't invoke
this message. I guess I'll try getting hold of yamicsoft support.

Thx.

The start-up message from UAC is normal for this program, and there is no easy
way of selectively having one program bypass UAC. I think Microsoft had a tool
for developers to create a database or 'white list' of programs that were able to
run without UAC prompts but I don't think it's worth the bother for the average
user.
Perhaps the programs you write don't have to access sensitive areas like the root
or Windows folders etc. and only make changes to users data and users folders.
