Morning guys!

I've been setting up RM Clock, which is now nicely configured, and running at startup on my system. The only annoyance I've got is that every time I boot, I have to provide permission for the program to run - hardly a back breaking exercise, but not the slick setup I like to have!

So, the question is, is there any way to negate the need to authorise this one program on run?

I'm on W7 64bit HP.

Cheers all.
 
Using Advanced Properties

NOTE: This will allow you to always have the program run as an administrator when you open it.
1. Right click on the shortcut of the program, then click on Properties.

2. Click on the Shortcut tab for a program shortcut, then cllick on the Advanced button.
3. To Always Run this Program as an Administrator -
Check the Run as administrator box, and click on OK.
4. Open the program.

5. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes to apply permission to allow the program to run with full permission as an Administrator.
NOTE: If you are doing this is while logged in as standard user instead of an administrator, then you will need to provide the administrator's password before the program will run as administrator.
 
Get a copy of PSEXEC and use it in a.bat file to call the app via the startup folder, thats how I load MSI Afterburner and CPU-z for my tool bar :)
 
Try running it from the task scheduler (by creating a task to run at login) rather than letting it start itself via the startup folder/registry. If you set "Run with highest privileges" in the task properties then you should not get asked to confirm via UAC prompt on every boot. This works for most programs.
