outlook 2007 user account control problem on Windows 7
Every time I open up Outlook 2007 I get a popup User Account Control window that asks me if I want to allow Outlook to make changes to my computer? My User Account Control settings are one down from the top, seems like Outlook should not be affected by
this? I upgraded recently from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium and this has occured since then. Don't get this problem when I open Word, Excel or other Office products. OutLook is only app that I get this message. Never had the problem before
upgrading. I am running McAfee.
I did read an old article that was similiar to this problem on a non-Microsoft forum that discussed Win 7 beta issues. I don't want to do anything unless it from a Microsoft forum.
It seems that you are getting the prompt as the user account control setting specifies
“You'll be notified before programs make changes to your computer that require administrator permissions” and outlook is not being used with administrator rights. You may refer the below link for details
of the user account control settings -
I would suggest you to use the below steps to run as administrator -
1. Click Start. Go to All Programs. Click Microsoft Office.
2. Now go to Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and right click and click on properties.
3. Now click on the Compatibility tab and check the box under the Privilege level to run the program as administrator.
Now check if you are still getting the same prompt.
Also, as your query is related to Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 application. I would recommend checking Microsoft Office specific resources. Please
