UAC Notifications How do you tell Windows 7 to recognize software so that you do not get a pop-up for the same software over and over? I did have it turned down lowest setting but you lose IE protected mode.

AS far as I know the UAC setting determine if you get the pop up. That is one of the complaints about Windows 7. I, however, find it a small price to pay for the additional security. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

Brand new laptop here with Windows 7 pre-installed and have to admit - despite my fears when attending this forum when I still only had my old xp laptop - I actually have no problems with UAC; like rich said, small price to pay and actually quite reassuring. | My System Specs | | OS Windows XP - Now Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). |

There really isn't an option to say, "please don't notify me about this application". It would almost defeat the purpose as now that application could silently escalate at any point without you knowing about it and that could be a serious security issue for some. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Q9550 2.83Ghz OC'd to 3.40Ghz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R rev. 1.1, F12 BIOS Memory 8GB G.Skill PI DDR2-800, 4-4-4-12 timings Graphics Card EVGA 1280MB Nvidia GeForce GTX570 Sound Card Realtek ALC899A 8 channel onboard audio Monitor(s) Displays 23" Acer x233H Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard ABS M1 Mechanical Mouse Logitech G9 Laser Mouse PSU Corsair 620HX modular Case Antec P182 Cooling stock Hard Drives Intel X25-M 80GB Gen 2 SSD

Can you say what software is causing the alert? One possible cause is the software is older and wasn't written for Vista/7. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 x64 CPU Athlon ii x4 620 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2P Memory 4 GB Graphics Card Geforce 9600 512meg Sound Card Xonar DS Hard Drives Hitachi Deskstar 1 tb |

ty A couple of options 1) Home :: Smart UAC Replacement
This one has been slammed by security buffs as coming from a source with a semi shady past. It can be found on all the major trust worthy downloading sites. I tried it for about a week and found the latest version to be perfectly stable and quite useful. At the time of testing, I was running Malware Defender, Threatfire, MSE and Windows 7 Firewall Control Plus. Didn't observe any trickery during that time. 2) Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create 3) The Application Compatibility Toolkit Selectively disable UAC for your trusted Vista applications | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com Download details: Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Averatec 6130HS-20 OS Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 3.00 GHz HT Memory 2.0 GB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 64MB Sound Card Realtek AC'97 Audio Screen Resolution 1280 x 800 Mouse Targus PAWM10 Wireless Optical Laptop Mouse Cooling 20 Inch Box Fan Hard Drives Seagate 96023A 60GB 7200RPM -

Now this was the type of answer I was hoping for. I believe #2 is the one for me, I just need to check it out closely before I leap. #1 Looks like software you pay for and buying Windows 7 Ultimate was enough.
UAC triggers on itself, on two of the puters monitoring software I use which increases the boot time considerably, on the online game I play. For something that is suppose to help with web surfing protection, it interferes with non internet surfing functions.
Thanx again for a useful response. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY #3, #2 OS W7 Ulti/64, XP Pro/32 CPU INTEL i7 920 DO, Core2 Duo 6400 Motherboard GIGABYTE EX58 UD3R-SLI, EP45-UD3R Memory KINGSTON DDR3 1333MHz, CORSAIR DDR2 800MHz Graphics Card EVGA GTX 260 x2, 8800 GTX Sound Card REALTEK HD onboard, ditto Monitor(s) Displays SONY 40" BRAVIA LCD Screen Resolution 1360 X 768 Keyboard MS Mouse MS PSU COOLERMASTER 900W, ENERMAX 850W Case COOLERMASTER HAF 932 x2 Cooling stock Hard Drives OCZ VERTEX/RAID0 -3, Vertex 30GB Internet Speed ADSL 3MB/768KBs Other Info amateur enthusiast |
