Question: UAC

Hi T--

I don't know why UAC is in your way with the new Dreamweaver when it wasn't
with the previous version, but what I'd do is to click the shortcut for
Dreamweaver MX 7.0>properties>security tab>add/edit and give your user
profile all permissions. You may have to click the add button>and in the
object box type users> and then give all permissions in the available
checkboxes. This should get UAC out of the way when you click the
Dreamweaver MX 7.0 shortcut.

Good luck,

CH

Greetings,

I have just run across a problem that did not appear during the preceding
month while using Vista Premium. I have had UAC turned on and going through
it's gyrations. I then uninstalled a program (Dreamweaver MX 6.0 to be
precise) and installed Dreamweaver MX 7.0. Then whenever I used my shortcut
to open 7.0 UAC start up came on asking the usual about allowing the program
to run. What is up with that? Can anyone help? I would rather have UAC
off, but now I get warned constantly that it is off.

Thanks in advance,

T

Hi T

You are getting the Security Center Warning notification. This wil
show you how to turn off that notification and still have Securit
Center running

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67...ity-center.htm

However, it would be safer for you to leave UAC on. It only bugs yo
to ask you permission to allow a program or action to run that is tryin
to run with administrator rights. (Run as administrator) It can b
helpful if a rogue program (EX: Virus or Spyware) tries to run withou
you knowing about it

Depending on your version of Vista, you may be able to edit one setting only
in Group Policy and stop the nag screen. Run gpedit.msc and see if you have
group policies installed. If you do, go to Comp. Config-- Windows
Settings--Security Settings--Local Policies--Security Options. Scroll to the
bottom of the list and you'll see all the UCA options. Find User Account
Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin
Approval Mode. Set it to Elevate without prompting. I assume your user
account is with admin. rights.

You will get more out of sniffing the rear end of a horse then by reading
the UAC warning.
At least the former will clearly provide you with relevant information. The
latter simply exercises your index finger and generates additional wear on
the left button of your mouse.
UAC is a complete fake and waste of time.
UAC asks if you want to let an operation proceed but does not tell you if it
is a safe operation.
This is Microsoft's way of shifting the total lack of security in Vista onto
the unsophisticated end-user.
The existence of UAC is a testament to the consumer antipathy of Microsoft
corporate culture.
Come to think of it, so is Vista.

"...but does not tell you if it is a safe operation."
It is not supposed to, nothing but the user can can make that
determination.
Did you do something to initiate the program?
If not, deny UAC is the only reasonable answer.

"...shifting the total lack of security in Vista onto the
unsophisticated end-user."
Not at all, instead if gives control to the user where control
belongs.
Now it is more difficult for malware to execute.
The user needs to educate him/her self on what they are doing so they
can respond appropriately.
All end users are not "unsophisticated", those that are need to learn
safe computing just like safe operating practices need to be learned
for most all technologies.

For most UAC is not an issue.
If you see UAC often, perhaps the cause is poorly written or older
programs.
I saw UAC a lot shortly after Vista installation but now I rarely see
it.

Thanks much to everyone who helped. The tweak program eleminated the nag
screen but the security center warning continued. I believe that by
checking the properties of the software (Dreamweaver) did the trick.
