Elevated Command Prompt
Is Deskscapes3 taking over my PC?
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Stardock Support General
After my recent debacle with a UIS0 skin, I decided to run sfc scannow to see if there were any problems with my rig. Well, there were a few, but they got corrected.
My question now is, why does an elevated command prompt have a command line that reads the following?
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\Deskscapes3>

Download, execute and apply 'Quiet Mode'. Reboot.
You are now afforded the protection of UAC without the prompts.
Are you planning on breaking anything else tonight??

Yrag, most of DesktopX will not work with UAC on. Performance Meters gives an error that it can't run while UAC is enabled.
Now, you may not know this, but I own the DesktopX gallery. I need DesktopX to work.
So, is there another work around?
As far as I can tell, UAC protects my PC from me, which I usually don't need.

Actually, that's not true. There are no other work arounds.
That said, it's a trade off. You'll have to decide what you need to work and live with whatever downside that leaves you with.

Well, I'll try it, it is reversible. As far as I can tell, UAC isn't stopping the meters from working. It just gives an error saying so.
This may be a viable choice, Thanks!

Actually, you're right. Didn't know about the UAC connection with IE Protected Mode.

If everything still works and those damn prompts are gone,I can live with UAC. I'll give it a try.
Thanks for hooking me up.
