UAC + vb5-program in W7/64

[Helge Haensel]

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.

Hi, now I am really frustrated. Starting my pc this morning, the window
of the program in question popped up like a charm. I can't remember for
sure
what I did last yesterday night and now I have to find out which instance
of the exe was executed (from startup folder or task scheduler). But
that is easy. Anyway it seems to work now for reasons I have to investigate
further.
Thanks to all of you!

Sorry, that was an error. UAC was deactivated.

Well in that case I'm stumped as all that you listed above should not
kick off UAC. While I haven't run your program, I have run others in the
same manner with no UAC issues.

Just to be sure, is it really UAC? Or is it the dialog that we get when
trying to run program downloaded from the Internet? In that case the key
thing you are trying to do is "un-block" the executable.

Un-block executable? I have no idea what you are talking about.
How do I un-block an executable?

Well if it is really UAC then un-block won't be the issue. But if an
executable is blocked the option to unblock will show up when you
right-click and choose properties.
