I want Vista to . . .

[dgsg]

after opening the same program for the 100th time to stop asking me if I trust the program! My damn cats are smarter than that. I feel a little better now.

What program?

Any program that windows defender deems to be a problem. For me it's the weather channel program and I'm sick of telling it to allow it. MS doesn't have a way for us to tell it to stop asking before it executes it. I even added it to my DEP list of things to allow.

There should be a checkmark that will allow you to stop the warning for that particular executable. Is it UAC? Could be that the program requires running with the full administrator token.

It's probably trying to make some change (like update itself) on startup and defender is blocking. If you run the program as an admin and let it do what it's trying to do, maybe it will stop bugging you.

Otherwise, it's probably just a poorly written app, and there unfortunately isn't much you can do.

I know what you mean. I ALWAYS get asked if I'm sure I want to run CPU-Z.

I had the same problem with Riva Tuner monitoring temps on start up. I fixed it by right clicking on "properties" and then selecting the "security" tab the click the "edit" button, then select your user profile and give the program full permissions.

Loads fine now and no more UAC crying. But UAC is still protecting everything else.

Quicken 2006, Retrospect Express, SptbotSD and others. The other ones maybe, but Quicken? Please give me a check box that says it is always OK to run the program.

Yeah Quicken 2006 has some known issues on Vista and I believe needs to be run as an admin. Quicken 2007 apparently works fine on Vista, if that's an option for you.
