Change language in Vista forbbiden

[eugensyl]

I don't know why I can't change the language in Vista (Bussines).
I'm logged like administrator.

Also, I can't preserve the settings.

My wincmd.ini is in TC directory.
Which is the best solution to keep this file in Vista?

Thank you in advance!

By default wincmd.ini is placed in %APPDATA%\GHISLER under vindows Vista - so run SET in a DOS console to see the location of %APPDATA%

Otherwise I feel like quoting Lefteous's sig: "Don't ask what Vista can do for you ask what you can buy for Vista!"

The default location for configuration files under Vista is:
"%AppData%\Ghisler".

I assume that You installed TC under "Program Files".
With enabled UAC, Vista does not allow to modify files below "Program files" (even if your account has administrator rights).
This is only allowed if you run TC "as Administrator"; or disable the UAC (not recommended); or if you change the config files "access permissions" for your account.

My preferred way to use TC under Vista is the installation path "C:\Tools\TotalCmd" and "UseIniInProgramDir=7" set in wincmd.ini:
- no problems with long path names
- no problems with any plugin installation
- and by default correct access rights

Kind regards,
Holger

Just out of curiosity (I don't have Vista) - is C:\Tools a standard directory under Vista, or is it a dir you make yourself?

[HolgerK]

"C:\Tools" is no Vista standard path.
I'm using this path since years (also under XP) for all programs that do not need to be installed (simple copy installation).

Kind regards,
Holger

I think that more sure is the problem comment by HolgerK. Look that Windows Defender or a firewall like Comodo is not blocking TC, too.

This is only allowed if you run TC "as Administrator"; or disable the UAC (not recommended)

BTW: Do you know a method for override the confirmation dialog when an application is launched in administrator mode by default?

THANKS!

EXCELENT for Vista TC users!
With HolgerK's advice (by Ryan) TC have approximately a normal behavior.

Sorry, I'm not aware about any trick to skip the "Prompt for consent" dialog only for specific programs.
This seems to be "by design": Why can’t I bypass the UAC prompt?

With enabled UAC, the only way to start such programs without any UAC-Dialog, is to start this programs from an already elevated process. For example, if you run programs directly from an administrator command prompt.
But in this case all programs will be executed with higher privileges.

Maybe TC's mechanism (TCAdmin.exe for file system operations in protected areas) can be re-used to selective start programs as administrator, asking only once for consent.

Kind regards,

Thank you for show interest in the issue.

Resignation (?)

There is a tool for suppress the elevation prompt, but it affects to all programs, too. http://www.tweak-uac.com/disable-vista-uac-pop-ups/

Resignation (?)

No not really resigned.
Using XP, I was always too lazy not to use the full admin account.
In Vista, I am working as administrators in “Admin Approval Mode”, and after six month of work with vista on a daily base the “Prompt for consent” dialog does not appear every minute.
Also I still not notice the ego shooter reflex: “Cancel or allow?” -> “Click Okay” as fast as you can.

I know, but <Win+R>:[Secpol.msc] and a few clicks more can do the same.
