    TI10 start up with Vista Home Premium. Problems with user account control.

    I am using TI10 with Vista Home Premium.
    When I start TI10 then a popup window „user account control“ is asking me “continue or abort” I click continue and the program works. But I don’t like this extra click.
    TI10 is the only program that comes with this message at start up on my computer.
    What can I do to start TI10 without this extra question.
    Reinstall doesn’t help.

    TI does the same on my Vista computer. So does Disk Director and several other programs I use. It's just part of the "enhanced" security of Vista. Any program that requires direct access to hardware or sensitive parts of the computer must get administrative level access before proceeding. There may be a way to "tag" the file so it knows you've ok'ed it to run, but I haven't found out how yet.

    That is exactly what I am looking for, say to Vista once I always trust this program.

    I have reviewed the links you provided and also several others in the Vista help sections. As far as I can tell there are only two choices. Disabling UAC (User Account Control) completely is one. The other (if you have Vista Ultimate or Enterprise) is to change the setting to "always elevate" so it doesn't ask.

    Niether of these options is really what I'm looking for. I want a way to "always elevate" a single program automatically by changing it's security settings. That way I know that only the programs I say were okay to run will run. If I turn UAC off or select to always elevate then it defeats the whole purpose. The purpose, I'm assuming, is to stop malicious programs from being able to run.

    Yes I think your right, after reading this article it does look like its all or nothing.
