Windows 7: Windows 7, multiple UAC problems

That's right! Even right-clicking on .exe files gives me me theoption "runasuser".

So:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas\command]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runasuser]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runasuser\command]

Nothing under them? Like in my text?
A lot is missing! I gonna prepare something.

Post HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\runasuser key as well please

Yes that's weird!

Thanks very much for your help and time! I really appreciate it.

I want you to import a reg file. Do it under under administrator. Still problems with exe? use attachment

{F211AA05-D4DF-4370-A2A0-9F19C09756A7} means not visible. Right clicking exe file (not shortcut) doesn't show runasuser? But does shift-right click do?
ea72d00e-4960-42fa-ba92-7792a7944c1d is also a fixed number on all Windows 7 machines.

------------------

so bat registry key looks fine? cmd registry key as well? mcs and msi as well? all have a runas and runasuser subkey?

All are keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for example HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile
All runasuser subkeys must have a subkey Command. If you click on "Command" you see in right pane:
DelegateExecute with value: {ea72d00e-4960-42fa-ba92-7792a7944c1d}

Last Write Time: 14-07-2009 - 10:23? That looks like before Windows 7 even existed! Maybe form a standard install and never changed.

How do you see "Last write time" anyway?? Nice feature... want to know how you did that?

I imported the reg file you prepared under administrator. Wow. No problems with exe anymore! The runasuser option is gone both when right-clicking and shift+right-clicking. The shield next to "Run as administrator" has been restored. The UAC settings are working now. Can also open the resource monitor. Pretty much everything is working as it should! Now I can finally use the time tracker!

That was like a miracle medicine you gave my computer. Thank you very much Kaktussoft! What do you think might have caused the problem? Are there any more steps to be carried out?

That's funny I noticed that too... I purchased the computer in 2010 and was wondering where 2009 came from. While exporting the reg file I saved it out as .txt directly. I think that added the last write time bit lol. Not sure

shift right click show an option "run as onther user now"?

Yes It gives me the option "Run as different user". I tested this with all user accounts and is working fine.
