How to keep having to log on as administrator each time a program starts up

August 11th, 2011 - 08:42 am ET by robertvemail-ssnb | Report spam
I set up a program to start each time that windows starts. However, I keep
getting a screen that requires me to say which user to run under before the
program will start. I find that I have to tell it to run under the
administrator account and provide my administrator password. That is no
problem but it does not remember the information so that I have to login
each time I start windows.Is there any why to avoid this additiomnal sign in
each time? I am running XP with SP3.

Since you don't give the name of the (3rd-party) software that you are
talking about, specific help about it is impossible.

However, I would suggest that you should look in the program's "Options"
(or "Config" or "Setup", etc.,) menu, for something like "Security"...

Failing that, look in the program's "Help contents" for something like
"Command-Line Options" or "Starting from the Command-Line" - this means
being able to start your program with additional instructions on the
command-line (that thing you type to start your program) that may possibly
include specifying which profile to begin with and maybe also to provide a
password.

For example; here is my command-line for a program I have, which allows
something similar :


PrvDisk.exe /noexitdialog /minimize /PATH:C:\TEMP\File1.xxx
/password:********

...which allows me to start [in this case] my encrypted virtual drive-image
without having it stop at the enter password screen as I was able to find a
way to enter this information on the command-line.

Incidentally, I found the information to accomplish this in my program's
Help documentation.
