User Account Control

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".

Everytime I run my C-Cleaner and other applications, Vista always asks for
my permission to continue. As I,m the sole user of the PC I find it
annoying! how can I stop these 'Nag' screens and just run the bloody
program?

Use software that doesn't want write access to the whole bloody machine?
I'm sure someone would recommend turning UAC off (in Users Accounts). But
I'd strongly recommend against doing that.

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.

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.

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.

Information on User Access Control. Maybe it will give you an understanding
of what UAC is doing and why.

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.

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

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.
