I was hoping so - didn’t want to start again- lol!. The UAC part has to do with Windows and when it starts the exe,dll,coms etc.. This is a pain in the rump! Perhaps the reason other companies have elected to just add a Task and work around the UAC.
I did find the script to insert this Task by launching the script. You could store the script and the file in a table and then if the user gets this message then they could opt to run the script! That is an idea maybe? You would just have to save a Task and load that saved task by script. Drop the fix time to a click of the user input. Sincerely, Paul D.

I have printed out your email below and intend to play around with it at the client if the "normal" way of doing it doesn't work. I found this bypass of UAC way deep in MS-TechNet and it was about a month old. I read about every article Mark R from MS-TechNet ever wrote about “UAC”. What I found out is it is a problem and MS knows it’s there but required also (read on). Companies, Developers, Code writers and even as high up as Symantec’s its self has had issues with UAC (see provide lookup below). I also noticed that when I applied this routine on my laptop, it was NOT going to be the first PROGRAM to use this method in Task Scheduler. My Anti-Virus “Vipre” uses this process and also my backup routine company uses this process, etc. So this is NOT new news to MS and because of virus and hackers, it was what MS could do to protect the users. It’s not a bug or fault. I suppose we all could blame code writers of viruses for the MS-UAC. I was also asked, “Why be so insistent on finding the answer? Just lower the UAC setting and leave it at that!” Well I have compiled apps out there and they are older MS OS, and they ALL run at User level. However one customer already has MS-7. Running my compiled app, they have to use a UAC ‘Ok’ button every time they launch my program? 30 times a day, I now have an answer. Also a lot of corporate computers and the IT department are not allowing the UAC setting to be reduced due to the MS hype and how they feel UAC is that important and useful. First go to Task Scheduler and follow the steps below. 1. Create a NEW task and REMEMBER what you called it. I ‘ctrl-c’ ed the name for my use. 2. Click on the box add “Run with the Highest Privileges” 3. Go to Action Tab and click on ‘New’ 4. Browse to ‘C:\RBTI\RBG##\RBG##.exe 5. Make sure Action is default ‘Start a program’ 6. Check the values if you have a laptop and uncheck if you so desire? 7. Go to the main screen and make sure ‘Allow task to be run on demand’ &‘Stop if longer than 1 day or what you want’ 8. In the setting window you may wish to change the lower left hand box to read ‘Run a new instance in parallel’ if you would like more than one RBase app running. 9. Close the Task Manager Now go to your desktop and add a shortcut using the following in the shortcut. ‘C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /tn “what you named or Ctrl-V” if you are lucky and attended the May ’09 eXtreme Release you have a copy of the icon for 32 &64 RBG9.0 with the Gummy “R” &bit ver. Sincerely, Paul D. See what happened with Symantec’s experience in the past. Google “Symantec and UAC” most are from ’08 and on, Vista related and it continues in to MS-7. So The UAC was improved in MS-7 but still has issues. If you would like any of the links just let me know. UAC is here to stay for our protection, but it is a double edge sword in my opinion. My .02 Compilers/Curious minds, try this. On MS-7 compile your app and send it to the desktop and RUN it! UAC stops it. Add the following, save the script and install it on that machine, now it works without the UAC message. Any questions/comments?
