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

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.
