| You're outright crazy to even want to run a program like that in Vista. You should keep utility programs designed for XP as far away as possible from Vista. Especially those dubious so-called "registry cleaners". Try googling "CCLeaner problem".

| Using the Run As command In previous versions of Windows, you had to use an administrator account to do certain things, such as changing system settings or installing software. If you were logged on as a limited user, the Run as command eliminated the need to log off and then log back on as an administrator. In this version of Windows, the Run as command has been changed to Run as administrator. You should rarely have to use the Run as administrator command because Windows will automatically prompt you for an administrator password when needed. Some older programs might still require you to use the Run as administrator command to eliminate the need to log off and then log back on. Right-click the program icon or file that you want to open, and then click Run as administrator. Select the account that you want to use, and then type the password. Tip You can also use the Run as administrator command to run a program as another user, even if the user does not have an administrator account. To do so, select the account after clicking Run as administrator. See also What is an administrator account? Why use a standard user account instead of an administrator account?

| What's wrong with CCleaner on Vista? The current version of CCleaner is Vista compatible and even the 'older' versiosn worked fine for me. 'Dubious' registry cleaners i have to agree with your comments but, not many people use that aspect of CCleaner and even if they do it is well documented what files are being removed - you also have a backup options so, if things go wrong, they can be corrected. If you are planning on keeping utility programs designed for XP well away from Vista, then you may as well blanket cover the whole software arena and say 'keep every program designed for XP away from Vista' In the end a program either works in Vista or doesn't. As it stands at the moment i would probably say that hundreds of applications designed for XP are 'not' Vista compatible and probably won't be for many months to come. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

| Tristan you can disable UAC but I wouldn't recommend it. My machine still runs with UAC enabled and, yes, it was an inconvenience at the start, but it is second nature now simply click on the UAC permissions dialogue box. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

| I am trying to disable UAC on a more permanent basis than just turning it off as Windows Defender will turn it back on. I am using this script: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f in order to actually turn UAC off. I am running it in Task Scheduler and it does turn UAC off. However, it requires a second boot to apply it. This takes too long so I am looking for a script that tests if UAC is on or off and re-boots only if it is on. I tried a second batch file to run upon logon to reboot (shutdown -r -t 0) but I got into a perpetual reboot situation which required an Acronis restore to get out of. Any idea how to get the second boot only if UAC is turned on? I don't need the aggravation of UAC as I am the sole user and depend on my daily Acronis backups to resolve any problems that might occur by turning it off. | Guest

| Why don't you just disable both windows defender and UAC? To be honest UAC is just annoying and Windows defender just takes up resources. But, as far as your script goes, it looks like it works, until th reboot. If i'm reading this right, looks like you setup a loop. I woul test it myself, but as you have had to restore to get back.... I have a similar script that prevents other programs from activatin UAC or windows defender, i'll se if i can find it for you and migh help -- Pbb321 | Guest

| Hi, If you disable it from the tools tab of msconfig, it will not come back unless you re-enable it. You will need to reboot the first time you launch the disable routine. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Wildcat" <rwhelan@shaw.ca> wrote in message news:B6F1B061-A16F-452A-B7E0-51F514CDC31C@microsoft.com...
