    That and I think the false-positives were to great for MS to implement a true UAC. GPU-Z whenever run, asks me for permission. I have shortcut to at least five programs that require me to click ok.

    I can't imagine typing in the user/pass each time especially since it asks each time I run the program as it doesn't say "Oh you want to allow this everytime its ran. Ok will do"

    I think the setup they have is a grey-area instead of black and white of admin vs. user

    agreed.... I run Peerblock on startup, and it needs admin privelidges to kick in, I have made a batch file to auto elevate it without prompting if its ran on startup, you couldn't do that in the "user vs admin" scenario

    Severedsolo, would you mind sending a copy of that batch file to cashmo at hotmail dot com? I have a similar need.

    Thanks,

    Why not install Peerblock as a service...?
