Guys, is there some way I can stop Vista bringing up the nag screen about permission for one application to open on boot?

I have uGuru installed, but Vista is nagging for permission, but I don't want to disable UAC.

So, anyone know how to do this?
 
You can use task scheduler to do this.

Create a the new task giving the task the highest privilege and tell it to load at log on.

This should do the trick I use it to start d3d overrider at start up which also requires permission.
 
Open the Start Menu and in the search bar enter Task.
The Task Scheduler should be the first item in the results list. Double-click it.
Click Create Basic Task... and follow the wizard.

Now, test. If you still get nagged, open up the Task Scheduler again and click on the Task Scheduler Library folder in the left pane. Then find your task. Right-click on it and click Properties. Select the Run whether user is logged on or not radio button. Also put a check in Run with highest privileges. When you click OK it should prompt you for your Windows password. Enter it and it will be stored.

Don't forget to remove any other startup entries for your program or it will try to launch two copies.
 
Thanks, tried that, but it won't fire at boot when ran as a task.

Not to worry, simply disabled it loading at boot. Not really that critical anyway.
