Hello Kimsland, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Yes, DMEX and I work together alot on some things. He has been noted for pointing this out. :) That's pretty scary that it would be that easy for malware to bypass UAC with a script like that though. I hope that you will be able to get Windows 7 soon as well. |

Thanks for the reply
Yes I do too. But with Chris Green displaying his Roadmap draft, I might just wait for Windows 8 ![]() But that discussion would be off topic ![]() |

True, but I suspect Windows 8 may be a few years off for it.

Wow! how in the h-ll did you figure that procedure out!
You'd think that Microsoft would just provide a switch in the programs' properties or in program compatibility panel to just bypass UAC. In any case, i don't think that would work in my case since when the program installs, it sets itself up to automatically run after account login. I would have to substitute the executable for the shortcut in the registry somewhere i think. I guess i could delete the entry in the registry and then place the shortcut into the account startup folder. Now that i think about it, wouldn't it easier just to elevate the programs' priority in the registry? |

Hello Nelson, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might be able to elevate the program in the registry, but it will still not run at startup without getting a UAC approval pop-up unless it's a task like in this tutorial instead. ![]() |

Is there a way to get the shortcut I made to allow me to double-click a music file and have it open Winamp that way without asking for the UAC? The shortcut opens Winamp fine if I double-click on the new shortcut, but if I try to associate the mp3 files with it, it opens the command prompt box for a second, and then nothing opens. |

Also, if you want to right click a music file, and have WinAmp open it, you can add a shortcut to the right click context menu for that function. |
