QuestionUAC - Showing fake Shield icon on the Exe Pin
WindowsPistha27-Jan-09 7:34
WindowsPistha27-Jan-09 7:34 
Hello ,


Even though my application does not have the manifest file,Vista shows shield icon over my exe.

Initially I thought it was because of the Installer detection Techniques,
such as:
1) Analyzing the Exe name, the OS identifies the required level of Execution.
2) Analyzing the binary content of the application, where the OS identifies the required level of execution.

I copied the Exe to the desktop, but it did not put the shield icon over my exe.
So I came to a conclusion that the above two scenarios are not the reason for this failure.

Environment:

Installed OS - Vista Business.
Account - Administrator with UAC turned on.

The Exe was displayed under Program Files directory. To run the application Admin Rights is not required.

Is there a different scenario that we need to try inorder to remove the shield icon which is displayed over the exe file

Note: Previously My application had manifest file, but now we have changed the Exe inorder to make it run in the standard user privilege. (Therefore we removed the manifest file)

The funniest part was, even though it displays the shield icon, UAC prompt did not pop up, when i am trying to launch the Exe and therefore the Application launched without any problem.

Is this a Vista bug? what can i do remove this shield icon.

Would really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
WindowsPistha.
