No, not really. I am asking a different question. I have 2 projects. They are virtualy the same. Compile one and I get a normal exe with no UAC shield and it runs normally. Compile the other and imeediately Windows 7 adds the UAC shield to it before I even try to run it i.e. directly at compile completion.

I have found that messing around with the Version fields (from the compile dialog), company name, trademarks, etc, seems to remove the sheild and hence the UAC requirement ???

But cannot remove it from one other exe no matter how I mess around with the version info.
