UAC elevation required for launch?

[markeh]

I recently upgraded to MM 4.0.5.1496/gold. Using Win 7.

I now get asked to approve UAC elevation (...allow program to make changes....etc) each time I start MM.

I have found a few threads here, but none seem to have a solution or explanation - I have tried some of the suggestions, and they don't make a difference

I don't think this should be needed for a music player/library manager. Besides, iTunes doesn't need this, and it seems much more poorly behaved.

Any way to get rid of this??

thnx,

There were some reports that the elevation prompt is only if you checked the box "Re-associate file types at startup" option at Options > OS integration.

I saw that. Un-checking made no difference. But thanks anyway....

Strange then, because I'm on Win 7 also and I don't get any elevation prompt when I launch MM.

I had this same problem with 4.06.1501. In the start menu, the shortcut was not checked to run as admin, but the exe file in the MediaMonkey folder *was* checked to launch as admin. I unchecked the box in the program folder and MM started without the UAC popup.

Also, all the OS Integration boxes are unticked since I don't use MM to play individual tracks, but I was still having the problem after I unchecked them.

OK Fixed now! Turned off (unchecked) all "Run as administrator" tick boxes on app and shortcuts. Hope this helps others.
