Excel and user account control

I have a shortcut to an Excel spreadsheet saved on my desktop.  I use is ever day.  Everytime I open it I have to click Yes on the popup screen that asks do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer.  How can I keep my UAC control level but allow Excel spent?

UAC should not contest an Excel file, if the system is working properly.  I have my UAC set to top & I use Excel files without any problem.

You will probably get better help in MS Office Excel forum but do these controls first:

1 Excel open other files correctly?

2. If you open Excel, and then use to open the file, it opens correctly?

3 don't Excel file containing the macros auto_open affecting the system that is running this macro the thing that is called into question?  [this idea may be rejected if check 2 books - and I doubt that it in any case, you have mentioned]

4 check the properties of this shortcut.  Right-click on it, select Properties, click the Advanced button.  You have the checkbox for run as administrator?  If so just, clear the check box, or just create a new shortcut to the file in Excel.

I guess that check 4 will solve your problem, but if not, see if the users Office Forum can help you further.

Additional - Keep an eye on this other thread as another user is also having problems with an Excel file ongoing disputed User Account Control, a recommended security level prevents starting applications

  • After that Win7 SP1 firefox Gets a user account control prompt every time I open it.

    After installing the windows 7 service pack 1 update, whenever Firefox is started I am invited guest UAC (User Account Control) to ask my permission because he will try to make changes. My UAC setting is enabled by default and reinstall the latest version of Firefox (3.6.13) does not alleviate the problem.

    Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.

    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that this level of privilege: "Run this program as an administrator" is not selected.

    You should also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

  • Why User Account Control allow me on IE without permission after resetting IE

    A few days ago I couldn't get on the Internet because IE would not work and internet connection was ok so out of desperation I did a reset of the EI. It still does not work then a member of the family came and got it works, but now I get the popup to permission to the user account control every time that I log on the desktop by clicking the shortcut of IE.  I went into the folder security and disabled UAC and now I only get this popup whenever I click on the desktop IE. This never used popup lights up when clicking on the shortcut of IE, so something must have happened when I did the reset Internet Explorer.  Does anyone know how to keep control of user account for all but IE?

    I have a feeling that I accidentally changed a setting on IE and probably should not have an IE reset.but now the problem is that I like to keep the popup of User Account Control permission for everyone, but the IE shortcut on my desktop.

    Furthermore, family member right clicking on the desktop for IE shortcut and did something with run as administrator to get IE working again.

    My nephew looked at the problem that I had some time ago, but I told him to forget it because he really didn't have time to work on it. I just kept off UAC all these months and had no problems I do not download anything that I'm not sure. However, a few days ago I went back to this problem. I tried checking with the Compatibility tab, and as said above "Run as Administrator" was unchecked. This time I went to the contextual on properties of Internet Explorer and click on Advanced tab. Then I unchecked the run as Administrator box and I went back and UAC enabled and everything works well. Without UAC popups more!  I also did this for the exchange of information in the start menu and on the Quick Launch bar. For some reason any one on the keyboard had worked this time (he had not earlier) without a popup UAC even before I made the changes.  This is exactly what made me do some exploring more to see if I could get the other IE shortcuts to work.

    I believe that another Member of my family who had helped me to get IE to work when I had problems to make on the internet even after a reset IE active the option "Run as Administrator". He has not been bothered by the popup and said if I was annoyed by it just turn off like he said I had a very good program antivirus (Norton) installed on my computer and it always warns you if a program you want to install is safe or not safe.

    Hope this might help someone else who may have this problem.

  • User account control appears when the is not necessary.

    The user account control appears everytime I open Windows Live Mail. How can I stop this, but retain control of active user account when needed on the other actions of the computer?   Thank you

    Hi JosephDoherty,

    UAC (User Account Control) notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions.

    You can try to change UAC settings and see if it helps.

    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

    Important: Turn on UAC after you complete the steps.

    For more information, you can consult the following articles:

  • How can I get User Account Control to STOP blocking a particular program?

    UAC continues to ask me if I trust Java (jucheck.exe) update program even if I always click "allow." It's really annoying.

    Log in as an administrator and change the update tool itself do not ask to update.

    or

    User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your computer that requires an administrator-level permission. The default UAC notifies you when programs try to make changes to your computer, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.

    do a little reading.

    My answer is still standing and so, what happens if I am boring.

    I gave the right answer and I googled ' ed the question and found all sorts of responses just like mine.

    Noting that I programmed a Tandy 1000 in high school, using programming base of door in Turbo C Windows form. This has nothing to do with you doing a little reading on a fundamental approach to programming.

    If above the falls, read the manual.

  • Why do some executable programs require Windows Vista user account control to start, while others do not?

    For example, Iobit Advanced System Care 6 requires user account control to start, while none of the programs Microsoft Office requires user account control to start, but they are all executables (*.exe).  Why?

    EXE files may have a small text file embedded in them that controls this behavior (and other). A file called programname.manifest in the same folder can do it too, but one stand-alone exe substitute manifests (vista and later).

    Here is one that requires the Admin run and also uses 6 worm of the common controls.
