[Download] UAC-Free iReboot BETA
OK, per popular demand, here's a version of iReboot that will not bug you for elevation nor refuse to run at startup if UAC is enabled. Technical details: I've opted to use the Service model here, so a "iReboot" service will be installed along with the GUI in the taskbar. The GUI should not require UAC elevation. Please test it and share how it works for you with UAC enabled. You shouldn't need to remove the old version of iReboot first. This version of iReboot should work equally well with all accounts on your PC. Download Build 12

Thanks, Peter!! Mak - take your time, don't let this rush you or anything  The scary thing is.... if I changed just 4 lines of the code, it would allow any program to run without UAC under all accounts with full system privileges! MS really needs to re-think their security model. :/

There is no way they don't know - it wasn't so much that I "found" something so much as it is that the UAC design is inherently flawed. I have no problem telling anyone, but I'm 99% sure it's by-design and meant as a last-ditch workaround that they're hoping the wrong people simply don't notice. It's sad though, because they made it such a pain to work with UAC that I can easily see desperate developers just doing something like this to avoid it entirely - no bad intentions involved. Oh well....

Sorry Guru, Tried it but it still gets blocked from startup, then requires UAC confirmation when it's manually fired up. (I uninstalled 1.0 first before installing this and the startup nag confirms it's 1.1) I checked in Admin/Services and the iReboot service is up and running OK. So perhaps MS UAC design doesn't have the big hole you thought ? I wonder how Ex-Brit is doing it ? Does he have UAC turned off ?

I'm installing a pristine copy of Vista Ultimate RTM (non-SP1 or anything) in a VM to test it right now, but I have an idea about why it's not working on Terry's machine - the screenshot should tell me if I'm right or wrong though.

Sorry Guru, I can't persuade my screenshot into this window. "paste" stays stubbornly grayed out. Tell me what you're looking for and I'll give you a yes/no far quicker than fiddling around with prtscn or clipping tool. By the way I'm Vista 64 - so the folder is in Prog filesx86 - maybe that's the problem - are you and Brit on V32 ?

I don't think x86 or x64 should matter, but it's a thought.... OK: is there a iReboot.exe.manifest file in the iReboot directory?

Or you can attach it to a reply (by using the "Post Reply" page instead of the quick reply).
