    Windows 7: How to avoid UAC?

    Every time I double click a file associated to IrfanView the UAC window appears asking me: "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?"

    Isn't there a way to inform Windows 7 that IrfanView is not to be screened?

    Is the problem related to the fact that IrfanView's publisher is "Unknown"?

    Welcome. I can imagine the annoyance of this.
    "unknown publisher" means that M$ doesn't have a deal with the maker of IrfanView.
    I hope that one of the members here with Win7 can help you to get rid of this message.

      I had the problem while testing IrfanView 4.25 on Windows 7 RC too. Self-certifying that IrfanView installed properly in the Windows 7 UAC too did not help and so, I used to patiently click the one extra click. Even tried running it as a compatible Win XP program, with the same result!

      Incidentally, my favorite Cleaner CCleaner exhibited similar behavior under Win 7 RC, while many other programs began to work correctly, without requiring the extra click!

      Was hoping the final release of Win 7 would have taken care of it...

        Hi,

        I'm running IrfanView on Windows 7 x64 but I do not get the UAC question. UAC is enabled on my pc.

        Where is your i_view32.ini?
        On Windows 7 it should be in "%APPDATA%\IrfanView". Maybe this is the reason...

        If you have the complete ini in your program directory try this:
        - close IV
        - create an IrfanView folder in the %APPDATA% director
        - move the i_view32.ini to the "%APPDATA%\IrfanView" directory
        - create a new i_view32.ini in your IrfanView program folder containing this:
        [Others]
        INI_Folder=%APPDATA%\IrfanView


        And the start IrfanView again.

        Best regards,
        Nils.

          My INI was already as suggested.

          Uninstalled IrfanView with Revo Uninstaller and manually deleted all references to i_view32.exe in Registry - reinstalled, no more UAC annoyance.

            I ran several "portable" programs with no hassle in Win7 by installing them -- actually just copying from a USB stick -- to a directory outside Program Files. It was a few months ago, so I've forgotten some details, but I expect I must have adjusted folder and file permissions too.

            I'm waiting for 8
