UAC + vb5-program in W7/64

Hallo NG!

I have a self-written pretty simple program under vb5 that always causes
UAC to pop up when started. I have several other (vb5-)programs that do
not activate UAC. Deactivating UAC lets start the questioned program
without any hassle. Is it possible to deactivate UAC exclusively for a
program? I do not mean 'Start as Admin' because the program needs to start
from startup folder with system start.

Vy 73! Helge

It's all a question of Permissions.
Right click the program, select Properties, then the Security tab.
It might be helpful to you if you look at one program that doesn't
activate UAC, and then your own one. See the difference.

if it is self-written you should be able to fix the behavior that is causing
UAC to pop up. Is it trying to write\modify a file in the \Windows or
\Program Files hierarchy? Modify data in the registry at HKLM?

Fix the issue, not bypass the security is the correct way to go.

You are absolutely right, but I tried everything under permissions
and security and didn't succeed yet. I gave full access to files and
are logged in as admin. No luck.

That is easily said. But actually you are poking in a black hole

I did that also and didn't find differences.

You should convert the program over to VB.NET You can write the program
to use Standard user rights and not Admin rights. .Net solutions have a
UAC Manifest that can be created in the App.Config so you can tell the
O/S the needed rights the program needs. You can look it up by using
Being or Google.

And you are not going to succeeded because Program Files and Ssystem32
are protected areas on the Windows 7 O/S. If you have data files, then
they should be put into the ProgramData folder, a hidden folder that you
will have to unhide to see the folder.

Run the program as a scheduled task using Task Manager. Set it to run
once at startup.
