Launch Process Explorer @ Startup w/ UAC

By default if I run PE from the startup folder, I get a message
balloon stating that vista tried to start a process that requires
elevated permissions. I then have to verify that I actually *do* want
to launch PE.

Is there a way to configure windows so that I don't get prompted each
time I log in?

I'd just like PE to launch automatically w/o the prompt, but I'd also
like to keep UAC turned on.

-Thx

I have downloaded, over the years, 5 different applets called process
explorer. I would guess there are others that I don't know about. If you
would tell which one YOU are trying to use, maybe someone could help you.

What you just asked is akin to asking "how do I fix my car".

Sure. The process explorer to which I refer is the one released by
SysInternals/MS

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...sExplorer.mspx

I apologize for not clarifying...I'm so used to just calling it
Process Explorer.

-Thx

At least you are using a good one. I just started up the latest version of
System Internals Process Explorer (ver 10.2). It did not ask for elevated
privileges.

Either you are using an earlier version or you have somehow altered your
computer from it's default settings.

Hmm...I'm definitely getting prompted when I launch it.

Are you running under UAC?

I have never turned UAC off, not even to test the results. It is there for a
purpose and I have learned to accept it's prompts.

Hello,

To run a program that prompts automatically when you start your
computer, you must use the task scheduler.

- Click start
- Type: task scheduler
- Press enter
- Click create task in the right
- Type a name for the task
- Put a check next to the box that says 'run with highest privileges'
- Click on the Trigers tab
- Click New
- Click on the dropdown next to "Begin the task", select At log on
- Put a check next to 'specific user or group'
- Click OK
- Click the actions tab
- Click New
- Click browse
- Find the program you want to run
- Click Open
- Click OK
- Click OK

There you go.

To modify this task in the future, start task scheduler, then click
'Task Scheduler Library' in the left.

I should add, this only starts the program when you log in, and only
if you are an administrator.

Excellent..Thanks Jimmy.
