    is there a way to allow a program to automatically run on start up without it asking me if it is ok to run it each time.

    I'm using RMclock to undervolt my CPU and each time i start up my computer it asks if it is ok to run the program.

    I have tried this method many times. It would work only if you use a log-on on Windows. With just the system starts up to the desktop on its own, this will not work.

    At least (not) for me so far.

    cheers ...

    yes UAC is turned on.

    I tried Midnightsun's suggestion and I'll know if it works when I reboot my computer next :p

    I'd rather keep UAC on.

    and the Task scheduler didn't seem to work... =\
