When I reboot my HTPC I get the Windows warning that MC wants to make changes. I get this every time. My brain is fired from other things. Please help

MC 21 on Windows 7

Thanks.

Perhaps my little brainstorming helps... :

How does MC start? If it starts automatically using the startup folder inside the start menu, it may be a problem if you set it to run as administrator.

I had to fight a similar issue last week and found the easiest way to prevent those warnings is

• not start programs as admin (because if you do, you get that message at program start)
• use the task scheduler to autostart programs at startup (or anytime else)

You may have already solved this but, if not, just curious:

- When it asks "MC wants to make changes" do you say yes or no? It's possible it wants to update/install a newer version. If you are saying 'no' MC might keep asking each time. I don't know if you reboot every day or rarely. If it is a few weeks between reboots there may be a new version each time since so many are coming out -- in particular if you have more aggressive MC update settings.

- Alternatively, do you get this when if you close and launch manually? If not, then something along StFeder's theory seems likely.
