Question

I have a kiosk app and want to run it at startup. The problem here is that when I put Registry value to open it at startup, it doesn’t open program as Administrator and so that program doesn’t work probably. I’m using Windows 7. Can anyone help me with code to run it as Administrator? Some programs (such as anit-viruses and the viruses themselves) work as Administrator at startup WITHOUT ASKING THE USER TO ACCEPT RUNNING AS ADMINISTRATOR, that’s exactly I want to do. Any help is very thanked.

Answer 1

To run a application at startup, you can either:

1. Run it as a scheduled task, set the credentials to run as the Administrator account, and set it to run at startup (or login).
2. Create a Windows Service, and set the Logon As account to the Administrator account or the Local System account.

Your example of the antivirus software sounds like #2.
