I'd check what's starting up first to trigger that UAC.  Type MSCONFIG on
you startup menu, and then expand it to full screen so you can see paths,
and figure out exactly what is causing it and where it's located.  Use the
UAC info to do so.

Hi everyone,

I have an "annoying" program file that everytime I start my laptop up I get 
the UAC box come up user access control  or whatever you call it and I say 
"no" do not let the program through.  I think I "may" know where the program

came from, not 100 percent sure but maybe.

I had tried installing an old logitech webcam that ended up not working with

my windows 7.  I uninstalled the program "I thought".  It is not in control 
panel and I ran revco uninstaller also.  I do find the program in C:/windows

directory, it describes it as a self extracting windows 32 file.  Can I just

delete it?  The name of it is p_981116.exe.

Thanks
christy
