Happens EVERY boot--Re: UAC

    When I first start my computer, and log on with any account, a UAC dialog comes up for c:\windows\system32\SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe. If I press continue on the UAC, I get the System Properties Computer Name tab. Whether I press continue or cancel on the UAC dialog, my computer appears to operate as normal. I've searched through the entries in msconfig and HijackThis, but I do not see SystemPropertiesComputername.exe or any suspicious programs listed. A google search turned up a few other people experiencing this same issue, with no solutions (ex: http://thevistaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=20904, which no longer exists, btw. shows how long i've had this problem...). I am annoyed that this comes up everytime I restart my computer, and concerned that it may be indicative of some larger issue. Any ideas of how to resolve the issue? TIA!!

    Have you tried this:

    or

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...tarts-on/f3b3e8ed-6152-42e3-a89e-88ece3908c94

    The second one would tell you if it's one of your programs or a Windows service causing the problem.

    This appears to be good information:

    Have you scanned the file with Malwarebytes' or your anti-virus? If not, search for it and right click scan it...
