Giving up on UAC

[Anderson2]

Thank you. Will try what you suggest. This app just came pre-installed with the new laptop.

Using Process Explorer I discovered what process is keeping the file locked. I discovered that the drive that I mounted my file to remains still locked by "clmlSvc.exe" and preventing dismounting. I discovered "clmlSvc.exe" is owned by CyberLink MediaLibray Service. I believe that is the CD writing application pre-installed on this pc.

Armed with that knowledge what should I do? I do not want to have to manually stop "clmlSvc.exe" every time I want to unlock a TrueCrypt volume.

[Incidentally I tried to use "Unlocker.exe" to discover what was locking the file but it does not seem to work correctly in W 7. At least it does not appear on the right mouse click contents. Is there a trick to making it work in W 7?]

Thanks for any help.

I'm running 64bit win7 and unless I have a file open i never need to force dismount so i think you have found the cause , maybe unnninstall it and find something different and less obtrusive

That definitely was the cause. When I stopped the clmlSvc.exe process I could dismount with no problem. Will uninstall it. Problem I now have is that I discovered that there are 4 CyberLink products pre-installed on this W 7 PC:
1. CyberLink DVD Suite
2. Power2Go
3. Label Printer
4. Power Director

I need to discover what each does and which one uses clmlSvc. Maybe all of them .....
