[Request] Use task scheduler to start AltDrag on systems with UAC #105

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Since I started using v1.0 Beta 1, I've been using a scheduled task to start up 
AltDrag and elevate it to administrator privileges on Windows 7. I see that 
you've put out a new beta that can elevate to administrator privileges through 
the settings, but this relies on the user disabling UAC to not get UAC prompts 
on every login.

Have you considered scheduling a startup task for AltDrag in place of using the 
Run registry key, so AltDrag could just be setup to elevate its privileges by 
default (since tasks don't bring up UAC prompts)?

Well, yes, I have fiddled a little bit with adding a task scheduler entry 
programatically, but I did not get it to work well enough.

I think the addition I made should be enough for most people.

Hello.

I hope you have noticed the crowdfunding campaign on the front page. If it is 
successful, you can be sure that I will take a look at all issue requests. 
Also, for every $10 that you pledge, you will get a vote that you can cast on 
any bug report or feature request. I promise that I will make a good attempt to 
solve any issue that gets at least one vote. The more votes a bug 
report/feature request gets, the more time I will spend on it.

Please support the development of AltDrag by donating. Thank you!

// Stefan Sundin, developer

I still think that the feature I implemented in beta 2 is the best solution. 
Adding a task scheduler entry is quite buggy. The user can still do that 
manually if so inclined.

Closing this issue.
