          Description

          As a result of the poorly-designed UAC architecture, applications that require elevation are blocked from running at system startup via any of the traditional means.

          The only current solution is to either disable UAC or manually run iReboot each time - defeating its focus on simplicity.

            iReboot now ships as a two-part service/UI combination.

            The UI does not require any UAC elevation and will not ever bug users for elevation or anything of that sort. The service handles all system calls.

            This should address the problem completely.
