I don't understand this UAC-warning
I use the little, very useable, program, TotalCommander.
Total Commander - home But if I want to delete a file on c:\ or on a removeable HD with this program, UAC says that I need Admin rights to do so. I then click OK to use Admin rights, and then another warning pops up saying, that totalcmd.exe needs admin rights to do what I just got permission to do ![]() Aha, says the clever man, you just give totalcmd.exe admin rights all the time ![]() How do I let this (and ONLY this) program, do its job on files and folders that is not exclucive system-folders (like the restore folder) without having to answer the same question over and over again? I would like to see a "remember tick" like most firewalls have for their training sessions in UAC. I'm comming from XP, so I have no clue how UAC worked in Vista, so please give me a "ground school" lesson if it is possible :) Regards Burgurne |

One way would be to give your username full rights to the folders you want access to for the purpose of deleting etc
UAC works on the principle that you are an admin but running with standard user rights When you give yourself full rights to a folder specifically you are actually giving your standard user "persona" these rights, so UAC should not ask you to elevate to admin rights to perform a task. The rights (NTFS access rights [ACLs]) and there settings work as they did in XP (right Click on parent older and add users using the security tab, allowing rights to cascade down the tree), You may have to take ownership to allow this. Saying this, if the program you are using is not written to spec and expects to be running with full admin rights, (this has not been standard practice since NT3.5! ), you may have to as you say run the program as administrator and accept at least one UAC prompt per session. Reccomended reading ( if you get time ) ... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc709691.aspx Hope this clarifies matters :) |

From my point of view:
Do your self a favor and disable UAC altogether |
