    When my laptop boots i have rmclock to run on startup and it does this fine except that vista always asks me to confirm whether i want to allow the exe file to run with that popup confirmation box.

    i want to get rid of this confirmation on startup and let rmclock run. How do i change the settings in vista to allow this??

    ps im new to vista so i havent had time to familiarize myself with it yet.

    You need to make a task for it running with the highest privileges.

    Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on/off > Turn it off.

    That should fix the problem. ;)

    I would most likely kill myself if I could not turn off UAC.
    But it is there for your protection.

    As stated above, turn off UAC. Vista runs great without it turned on.
