Thanks for such a clever way around UAC. I’d imagine anyone running SpeedFan could benefit from this in Vista or in my case Windows 7. One less annoyance.

Thanks again!

@Manan Run as root user, no-UAC style prompts, contrary to Vista’s UAC prompts for Admin.

@Ritesh: You’re welcome. This shall come in handy. I have used this on a couple of friends & family machines, it’s much better now.

@T: Ya, will have to edit the plugin for that, now that I have some time on my hands will play around with it.

@Metal: The implementation part that people said was more of ignorance. Initially, the developers didn’t understand the working of UAC (when prompts were given) and at the same time, MS too had a very rigid UAC system. Now things are quite different. Devs & MS both have improved the UAC system a lot.

As far as GNUs implementation is concerned, I hate the fact that it can’t be turned off and at the same time every time I need to enter my password for accessing the network settings. So, when people find flaws in UAC, I can find in the GNU implementation too

Hey Thanks!!

My wife also uses the laptop, and she finds the UAC very irritating. I think I can save her from clicking on ‘Allow’ everytime.

I remember hearing of the UAC. I wonder why people b!tch it so much. Infact, I think its one of the *better* things about Windows Vista. Lots say its not as well implemented as in GNU/Linux. But personally speaking, I am glad that its atleast *there* in Vista. Thats around 600% the reason to get Vista instead of XP if you are buying a new computer.
