I've had to reinstall to sort out a problem. Unfortunately I've forgotten what I have to tell Vista to let me run a program written by myself and unsigned from one of the other PCs on the LAN with out having to click on a prompt to say its OK.


Can anyone put me out of my misery?

I should mention that this is Home edition

Try Googling for 'Disable UAC prompt"

Nah UAC is easy to disable, this is much trickier. Something to do with trusted sites but what I thought it was wasn't.

You want the Intranet zone, and I think you want the "1806
Miscellaneous: Launching applications and unsafe files" option.

Thanks for the link. I have read it, and will try and understand it. Why is it I get the feeling there are far ti many "clever" people at Microsoft and not enough intelligent ones?

Searching I did find this


Alternatively, to disable the dialogue box for ALL .exe files, you can add the following key to your registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]
"LowRiskFileTypes"=".exe

Which is understandable, works, but (apparently for some reason) isn't advisable

Finally got it sused:


1. Use Internet Explorer to set the trusted site
2. Hack the registry and alter the key name from file to * and alter the value from 2 to 0
