Program needing elevation in Startup registry key (windows 7)

自古美人都是妖i 提交于 2019-11-27 08:11:16
问题 I have a program that I'd to run when the computer starts. I've put its path inside "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run". This is in Windows 7. When the computer starts nothing happens. I'm thinking this is because the program needs elevation when I run it. But Windows does not ask for permission to elevate and gives no feedback. It simply ignores it. I've read that Vista tells you that the program was blocked etc. Does anybody have any idea why Windows 7 simply ignores the

问题 Ok so since in xp most people are logged as admins - it's easy for a programmer to make a program work with the registry. What I am trying to do is this: The software is started and it's added as a startup process in the registry- however this should be done only when the application is closing - not before. However this doesn't work in xp when the user is limited and same thing in vista,7,2008. What are the workarounds? I was thinking to make the program create a scheduled task or being

问题 How can I add and embed a manifest file in VB.NET, in order to add UAC support to my application? 回答1: In VB.NET 2010, go to Project → My Project → Application→ View Windows Settings. You'll see the default manifest. From here, you can change it as you desire. For example, in this case, to require UAC elevation when the application launches, change: requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" to requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" 回答2: You have

I have an application (Windows service) that is installed into a directory in the Program Files folder. Alongside this application is another WinForms application that is used to configure the service (amongst other things). When it does configuration, it saves changes to a config file that lives alongside the service. When running on Vista/Win7, UAC prevents the user from saving to the config file. What I would like to do is: put the shield icon next to the menu item used to configure prompt for UAC permissions when this item is chosen only show the icon/prompt when on an OS that requires it

I've been stuck on this for a few hours until I've finally managed to do it. There are already links which pointed me the right direction: Is it possible for the executable to ask for Administrator rights? (Windows 7) CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation But I've thought that simple overview of the problem could help someone :). Real problem: (from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control ) An executable that is marked as "requireAdministrator" in its manifest cannot be started from a non-elevated process using CreateProcess(). Instead, ERROR

问题 I have a Vbscript that runs on user log off that is suppose to turn off a service, however i't can't turn off the service since it's being blocked by UAC. I was wondering if there is a way to bypass UAC in my vbscript instead of having to turn off UAC on every machine in my domain. thanks! 回答1: What would be the point of UAC if you could bypass it by saying "it shouldn't apply to me"? You cannot bypass it from vbscript . You can do this administratively though, by running the script using

Run another program as administrator

问题 So I tried Googling this and this does not get a good result. What Im trying to do is run another program as an administrator without that annoying UAC popping up everytime. The idea is this, this program requires administrator privileges to run which the user will grant. Then this program will run a bunch of other programs that also require administrator permissions. Instead of the user clicking and allowing a bunch of programs time to time, the program with admin permissions can run the

问题 I'm trying to find out if there is any way to elevate a specific function within an application. For example, I have an app with system and user settings that are stored in the registry, I only need elevation for when the system settings need to be changed. Unfortunately all of the info I've come across talks about only starting a new process with elevated privileges. 回答1: What you really need to do is store your settings the Application Data folder. 回答2: It is impossible to elevate just one
