Problem with scheduled programs at startup that need admin rights
Hello all!
When I start Windows, programs that need administrator rights don't start as they did before. Before I describe the problem I'm having I would like to state that I searched and found similar problems all over the web, but not any solutions that worked for me. Now let's get on with the problem.
The situation is as follows: programs that need admin rights and which I set to run at log on (like PeerBlock and TopWinPrio) don't start automatically anymore. I don't get a UAC message, I get nothing, they just don't launch.
A few days ago everything worked fine. Since then I've run CCleaner and Gamebooster 3.5b. I did clean the registry with CCleaner but used the backup of the registry CCleaner made after I noticed this behavior (so I think the registry clean with CCleaner could not be the issue). I've also used the 'normal clean' function of CCleaner, maybe this caused the problems?
I think the problems have something to do with messed up admin rights on my account. The programs startup fine when I disable UAC, but I'd rather not do that. Also, when I log onto the administrator account, the programs startup fine.
I can start the programs manually after I'm logged in, but I'd rather have them startup automatically.
I've tried the following to solve it:
- sfc / scannow command - did not solve it
- check if my account has admin rights - as far as I can see this is the case
- look for restore points - this is stupid, I know, but it seems I have deleted them with either Tuneup or CCleaner
So, if anyone knows anything that may be of help, please post.
Thanks in advance!
