with a company code signing certificate, but I have not investigated if this is either practical or possible for an existing program. It would depend on whether the OS required a code signing certificate or accepted an individual certificate. For instance you can enable macros in Word, Excel etc by signing them with a personal certificate locally generated, and you never get prompted again when the macro runs. Signed programs are allowed to run, so it should be possible. If I had the time, I'd work on this idea, but I don't. Take it away gurus. Why is it such a big deal to clic something that asks you if you really want to run this program. Does it really put you that much out of the way? I'd say most likely no, don't bash microsoft because of a nifty little security implement they put in. We wonder why other countries think us Americans are lazy, just look at yourselves, your whining about having to do one extra click. It's the same as whining about having to park the car one further spot away. Afellowamerican, I think you have no idea how big the problem is. It's not just the extra clicks -- it's the fact that we can't install software properly with the UAC, and that programs won't run properly with the UAC, even if you run them as administrator. I've had Vista for 1.5 years now, I have 4 computer programs that won't run because of the UAC,
