[2008]RESOLVED Windows Vista and it's preventitive startups

[samtheman]

Hi,

As you know if you ever set an application to run at Startup in Vista by setting your program's entry under HKLM\CurrentVersion\Run section - when it attempts to run, you will see a Windows Defender has blocked applications at startup.

How do other applications bypass this? I've installed applications of which none complain of this? How do I make a program startup in Vista and not receive that warning message, I don't want to modify the user's defender settings or anything like that.

Here's the solution: If Windows Vista blocks programs from running at Startup, it is because you are trying to run a program with UAC. So simply make a small program (like a loader), to load the other program.

It will end up in an annoying UAC popup, but hey it works.

Try setting it in the HKCU\CurrentVersion\Run

Good idea but I need it to run for all users rather than the one who launched the application.

The only way I guess I could do it (install Vista in VPC, doing now) and try and perform a registry snapshot of when I allow the application to work in Windows Defender and copy the registry entries.
