Auto Start in Windows 7

[Meblin]

I have just installed Windows 7 and the latest version on core temp.

I have ticked the box to start when windows loads but it is not auto starting. I even put a short cut in the startup folder but it's not working.

Any solutions would be much appreciated.

I am having same problem. It can be manually started from the Startup Folder or Programs Menu but it will not start automatically.

Win7 Pro RTM

It's an OS limitation.

It's an OS limitation.

Or a more accurately a program limitation? Seems like Win7 is complaining due to publisher is "unknown". It appears to be a code signing issue. I believe this keeps it from working in the startup folder. I saw someone else post this same question (and no answer). Can the program's ditigal certificate be fixed to that is plays nice with UAC?

It complains because Core Temp loads it's driver at run time. It doesn't install the driver and leave it running all the time.
When UAC is on, it requires the computer administrator to allow the program to do this.

Yeah I agree, it can't really be considered an OS issue when I myself have many other programs that run at Start-up fine.

I'd also love if the digital singing was fixed, or some other fix so Windows doesn't worry about the application. It's so irritating to have to force it to run each time I log in

Thanks.

But it doesn't shut down on log-off? I was quite surprised when logging off as an administrator, and loading a standard 'user' account, then running core temp it did not prompt for elevation.

It is possible to manually set something that requires elevation to autorun in Vista/win7 though (unless this was patched out for win7, but I don't believe so) :

set it up with task scheduler to run on logon, or maybe system startup, you can tell it which account to run under and provide the password. search Google for more info if you can't work it out.

Thanks for the great program

If you switch user and Core Temp is still running on the other user, then it'll run w/o prompting. But if you try to run a new instance, it won't work.
At least not in my personal testings.

Something similar, program is running but there are no icons,will fix the problem if close it and reopen program.

see this image



PD: This problem no appear in XP SP3, works fine.

There is a bug in the current Core Temp version, where it starts up before the Taskbar, therefore you don't get the icons at the systemtray.
Next version will fix this problem.

I found a solution somewhere online a few months ago. It's possible to set elevation settings when you run a program from a task in Task Scheduler. So, if you create a task that runs Core Temp at logon, you can have it start automatically with elevated permissions and without having to confirm it. When you create/edit the task, select "Run with the highest privileges" under the General tab (this is for Win7, others might be different).

FYI, you can also create shortcuts to tasks, which means that using the same technique you can circumvent the UAC confirmation dialogue for any program. Google it.

Make sure you set it to load at logon, because if you do it at startup you won't ever see it in the taskbar.
