I've just been doing some testing of PowerPro under Windows 7 x64, and I tried various experiments around starting PowerPro via the Task Scheduler with administrative privileges, and I thought you might like to hear the results. If I make a schedule to run PowerPro "with highest privileges" at user log on of a user with admin privileges, I get PowerPro running properly with admin privileges as soon as that user logs on. If I try to set up this same schedule on a regular (non admin) user account, PowerPro starts without admin privileges. If I try to have the scheduler run PowerPro at the log on of a regular user but launch with the privileges of an admin, PowerPro starts, but isn't visible or usable. Looks like if you want to be able to have PowerPro autorun with admin privileges, your user account must have admin privileges too, at least if you're using this technique. In any case, since my user account is an admin, PowerPro is successfully starting at my user log on with admin privileges without a UAC prompt and with UAC running at normal levels under Windows 7 x64.
