Some of the programs that I have pinned to the taskbar have a blue and yellow shield over the icon which means when i try and run it i get a dialogue box pop up saying do i want the program to make changes to the computer.
Is there any way of turning this off without putting the securiity settings right down?
Reduce the alert level in UAC.
User Account Control - UAC - Change Notification Settings
i have already tried that but its currently on the 2nd lowest setting but i do not want to turn it right off so are there any other ways i can tell it not to notify me for a specific program?
In case anyone else comes across this and wants a real solution; I found the REAL cause of this issue:
The "C:\users\public\public desktop" folder permission contained an entry for a particular user that denied all permissions except "Read". I have no idea how that line got in there but removing it and logging in the user solved the problem!!
PS, I also ran the Rebuild Icon Cache batch file which is found here Icon Cache - Rebuild - Windows 7 Help Forums in order to remove the admin shields from the icons. This is just a cosmetic step though.
