How to bypass Vista asking for permission to run my application?
Hi,
When running my application in Windows Vista it asks the user for to run it. In Windows XP the user could check a checkbox, so it want be asked again.
Is there a way to always allow run my application (without confirming permission)?
Will digitally signing my application overcome this behaviour?
Regards,
Stef

You can't.
Vista is designed to be more secure! Either you disable it or you must have your users "Accept" or "Deny" applications and sign into UAC when an application runs.
This is to help thwart virus writers, malware, adware, etc.

I did forget to mention and Kunfufaresi is correct in giving read/write permissions to everyone of that application's folder.
In my installation porgram for one Vista app, I ensure the folder permissions are set up for everyone to read and write too... if of course that kind of access is needed.
In any event, either you disable Vistas UAC security features, or ya gotta accept what Vista does.

If you should be so bold as to disable UAC, I advise using an imaging program to backup your installation. Then if something really nasty bites you in the backside you're only 20 minutes away from a complete restoration to your good configuration.
System Restore on steroids, much more reliable and not expensive. Symantec's Ghost also does the job, but I, and many reviewers, prefer Acronis True Image.

I will not disable UAC, as it is not to me to decide that on my customers computer.
The user will have to deal with the messages or disable UAC themselves.
