FAQ: When I run SyncBackSE/Pro on Windows Vista it always prompts me with "A program needs your permission to continue". Why?
Windows Vista introduced some very strict security features, one of which is called User Account Control (UAC). UAC basically means that all programs are run, by default, with the least number of security privileges. For example, even if you are an Administrator when you run a program it runs at the lowest security level, meaning it cannot delete or change system files, for example. The purpose of this is to protect your system from malicious programs that may damage or exploit your system.

SyncBackSE/Pro requires Administrator (and other, e.g. backup operator) privileges for a number of features to work, e.g. copying open/locked files, creating or deleting schedules, etc. Therefore, when it is run it requests that it be run at the maximum security level for the current user. This means Windows Vista will prompt you every time it is run, including at Windows startup if SyncBackSE/Pro is set to run then. The only time you are not prompted is when it is run from a schedule (this makes sense because you may not even be logged in when the scheduled task is run).

There are three ways to remove this prompt:

* The recommended way is to have SyncBackSE/Pro start with Windows (via Preferences -> Options main menu). When it starts with Windows you will not be prompted.
* Switch off UAC in Windows. This is not advisable.
* Use a different manifest file for SyncBackSE/Pro. This is discussed below.

In the folder SyncBackSE is installed to there are two files (the same applies to Pro, but with different filenames):

* SyncBackSE.exe.manifest
* SyncBackSE.exe.manifest.nonadmin

The manifest file is used by Windows Vista to know what security level to run the program at. If you want SyncBackSE to run without prompting, i.e. at the lowest security level, perform the following tasks using Windows Explorer:

* Close SyncBackSE
* Rename SyncBackSE.exe.manifest to SyncBackSE.exe.manifest.admin
* Rename SyncBackSE.exe.manifest.nonadmin to SyncBackSE.exe.manifest

Note that running at the lowest security level means you cannot copy open/locked files, for example. It also means any profiles that are stored in the same folder as SyncBackSE.exe cannot be used unless you have write permission to that folder (which is unlikely).
