    Hi All, As per our design my application should launch in the system startup itself. and also my application require the privilegeg level as "requireAdministrator" to function proper. So i added one manifest file and in that i mentioned the snippet below ...... ...... ...... ...... with this everything is fine. But the problem is that when the system restarts, My Application is geeting blocked,VISTA prompting "Windows has bloked some startup progrsms" this is not expected for my application. how can i avoid this. i.e how can i start my application in system startup? Please support me in fixing this problem? Thanks in Adv,

      As of Vista RC1, Microsoft has blocked applications that require elevation from the startup paths. More information on this issue can be found here[^] and here[^]. Check out the discussion in both links, as they provide workarounds to this issue. It sounds like you can rewrite your program as a service or have it invoked at startup from the Task Scheduler. Hope this helps! :)
