.... need Administrator rights, when both profiles that I have on my laptop
are both set as Administrator?

Is precisely because I have two administrator profiles and the computer is
"confused"?

Any ideas, anyone? Thanks!

Windows 7 (and Vista before it) runs even administrative users as a more
limited user most of the time, and only elevates to administrative rights
when you actually _need_ it to do something, and only when you authorize it.
This is by design, and is intended to protect you and your computer from at
least some of the possible malware out there. It is possible to turn this
off, but I strongly recommend NOT doing so. Over time you'll find that you
rarely get prompted for elevation in the normal course of using the
computer. But during the early days of using it, you will get prompted much
more often, as you're installing applications, configuring settings, etc.

Some older applications that are poorly designed will not start without
getting administrative rights. That's just bad design, and I would urge you
to find newer or alternative versions that don't require that elevation.

Hi Charlie,

following with the thread, I want not to be asked for "some" applications to
be auto-run, e.g. CCleaner,
I have this software (latest version) as started in the start-up, but every
time computer starts I'm asked
about running or not.

How could be done for not being asked for "some" programs, running under
account with Administrator
privileges.

Some programs will always demand administrator privileges and should not be
put in your startup folder for just that reason. Sounds like this is one.

Hi, Corsair.

I’m not familiar with CCleaner – or any “cleaner� application. But with many apps, you can right-click on the .exe and choose Properties. On the Compatibility tab you should find a checkbox to “Run this program as an administrator�. I’m not sure that this setting exists or actually works for ALL apps, but maybe it does for the one you need it for.

Even when it does, I think you still get prompted for rights elevation.

I've tried this, but other way is that I have no room to do it,
as is not listed in the Start up folder, it goes straight to the
registry and could not say that run as administrator, but done
with the normal program and every time is started user always
prompted for privileges.

Why not just uninstall CCleaner? It provides no useful service, and clearly
isn't well behaved. Personally, I avoid programs that claim to do what
CCleaner claims to do like the plague. The LAST thinkg I want is an
application that "cleans" my system, automatically. Windows doesn't need
cleaning, thank you, and if it I want to remove something, I want to know
exactly what is being removed. And why. And how.

It is the best temp file remover and registry cleaner around by a million
miles. It is excellent at removing redundant registry entries that
un-installers leave behind, MSFT seem particularly bad at not cleaning up
after an un-install.

It runs fine on x32 and x64 Windows, the issue with Win 7 is UAC, it needs
to be turned off to enable the user to get control of his/her OS back.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who do binary and those
who don't.

CCleaner also removes some files you don't want removed. I tried it on
my computer and it removed some files that really messed up a few programs.

I'm with Charlie on this one - stay away from it!
