Problems with unknown software

[gh1978]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me ?

I need to get an application which we have had written for us to run at login.

However Microsoft doesn't know about it and as such you get the security popup when you try to launch the application - the one where you have to click on run if you trust it.

Is there any way of stopping this ? I've had a root round in Group Policy to see if there is anything in there but can't find anything relevant. The machine that it is to run on will solely be running this application but it really needs to autolaunch without the user having to click on run all the time.

Hope I've explained this properly !

It may well be that I have not read this properly more than the fact that you have not explained it properly, so apologies if I haven't got a clue what I'm talking about.

I cant seem to remember the "Click on run if you trust it" command coming up when launching an application, only when Installing an application.

However, you can have any application that you have already installed open at start time by dropping it in the "Startup Folder". You can find this in C: /Documents and Settings /All Users /Start Menu /Programs /Startup. (This applies to Windows XP, and of course if your system drive is C:)

If what I have written above is way off course I would suggest perhaps going back to the person/s who wrote the software for you and ask for advice in that direction.

If you are doing a lot of tinkering with this on a computer other than the one you finally intend to install it on It would be a good idea to make a disk image before you start (Ghost, Acronis, etc;). Failing that a registry backup, or at the very least, set a new system restore point.
