Unidentified Publisher

I am new to Vista

I have a couple of programs I use that are evidently unidentified for Vista
by microsoft. The programs run fine but everytime I open them windows ask
me for permission to allow this program to open. Is there anyway to skip
this message or tell windows that my software has permission to run so this
message doesn't appear.

I also have a couple of batch files that won't run because permission is
denied. I am assuming the same unidentification error is coming about on
these also.

Thanks

Which programs are these? The prompt you're getting is because they're
wanting to run as administrators. None of the built in programs should be
doing this, neither should the vast majority of other programs.

Elevate them by running them as an administrator. Either right-click and
choose Run as administrator, or CTRL+Shift click on them.

The main thing change here compared to previous versions of Windows is you
need to keep in mind applications running run as standard user, therefore
any system-wide change will need to be elevated.

I have this same problem when running a program. I asked this question
a couple of days ago and got no help. Using run as admin is no help
either. This must be a tough problem to solve as no one seems to know
the answer.

Ok this worked for me.
Right click on executable
Click on properties
click on compatiblity
Put a check in box run as administrator
Click ok to finish

Anytime you attempt to perform an action or run an application that has the
ability to modify system files UAC requests permission to perform the
action as a means of protection and security.

All programs are designated as Signed, Digitally signed, Certified or the
provider (Publisher) meets Vista Logo standards.

"Uidentified Publisher" means the application/program does not meet any of
the above critera and you install at your "own risk" and is why UAC is
asking are you sure?

UAC can be "turned off" - not recommended to do so since it provides
"protective mode" for IE - with protective mode IE creates "virtual"
system/registry locations when you download and verifies no harm will be
done by whatever it is you downloaded.

Majority of malware/virus/spyware infect a computer via the desktop - notice
that when UAC prompt pops up that the desktop is "gray" UAC has locked the
desktop pending your decision.

The other thing that may apply, especially for downloads, is that if a
program is not recognised or signed it may be "Blocked" and will
therefore ask for confirmation each time it is run.

To cure this right click on the executable file ( not the shortcut }
and select properties if the program is blocked there will be an unblock
button (lower Right) click on this button to stop the run request.

one slight problem is if the executable is in program files folder you
need to be full administrator to make this permanent. What I do in this
instance is copy to the desktop Unblock the file and then copy back to
the original location
