    If you have a non-admin account, you will be prompted for credentials...

    Are you certain your account is still set as an administrator?

    Go to start, search, gpedit.msc Start, run gpedit.msc works too.

    Open it up (Im going to assume this is Vista Ultimate, as you never said).

    Now navigate to Local Policies, down to Security Options.

    Scroll down to the UAC stuff.

    User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode

    Default is Prompt for Consent. Sounds like its set for Prompt for Credentials.

    I dont have gpedit.msc on Vista so...


    Hmm, try secpol.msc instead.

    Then follow the path.

    Seems it maybe a bug in that app as I installed it today and only app I installed today was this, to see what it did after reading this thread and low and behold my UAC User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode changed from Default Prompt for Consent to Prompt for Credentials.

    Nice find Adryn and to anyone installing this app, you'll need to change the above back in secpol.msc or gpedit.msc


    ( but heads up, gpedit is to be removed from SP1 for a standalone more advanced version, yet to be released )
