UAC and WinBatch Studio
Keywords: UAC WinBatch Studio Shield Prompt
Question:
My WinBatch Studio icon has the Windows blue and yellow shield against it under Windows 7 and whenever I run it, it always asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer".How I can set this to stop this happening? I realise that I can adjust the User Account Control Settings but then this applies to all programs and I might want better security enabled for other apps that might run.
Answer:
We recommend getting up to speed on UAC and manifesting if you plan on doing scripting on UAC enabled Vista and Windows 7 systems. This topic is much discussed in the Tech Database (UAC and manifest search terms) and on MSFT's web site.Since version 2007B, WinBatch has shipped with 8 versions of WinBatch Studio with 7 different manifest combinations. One way to start WinBatch Studio without a UAC prompt from a Administrator account is to select 'WBStudio_AF.exe' or 'WBStudio_AT.exe' as your startup version. However, you will be running in a reduced privilege mode and some scripts may not work because if this. If you are using a Standard user account, you can also use 'WBStudio_HF.exe' or 'WBStudio_HT.exe' with the same result.
My preferred technique is to create a desktop shortcut that starts a Task Scheduler task that in turn starts WinBatch Studio in an elevated state without a UAC prompt.
