How do I develop an application that will pass User Account Control Settings in Windows 7?

I have a desktop application developed originally for Windows XP that works when installed on Windows 7, but triggers a message from the User Account Settings.  The message warns me that the application from an uknown publisher is going to make changes to my computer; do I want to allow it to proceed.  Of course, I know the publisher, but how do I get Windows to recognize it? I use Visual Studio 2005 to develop applications. Thanks.

Thank you for the quick response. I'm sorry I was not so quick to reply, but I read the article and tried these changes.  What it doesn't seem to address (and I was unsuccessful at overcoming with the suggestions of the article) is that of the Unknown Pubilsher issue.  Do I need to purchase a digital certifacte to be recognized by Windows 7 as a known publisher?

Thanks.
