Because the computer is manually turned on and left to boot while tea was made , no one had accepted the UAC prompt so the backup application start up was aborted. Finding a way round the UAC prompt for this specific software took a while and a great deal of experimenting.
The chosen method is quite close to [The Task Scheduler Trick] above but somewhat more complicated. I shall try it later today and if it works on my system shall use it. I have 2 standard users non admins on my computer. The trick works for one of them, and not the other. For the other user though, the UAC prompt still pops up. I have setup as task for each user and they each run their own, so that the task runs under the correct account not the administrator account.
Does anyone have an explanation on why one account works fine and the other is still prompting? Windows has always bewildered me in acting different in 2 similar situations…. Another useful tool to bypass the UAC for a specific application is Runasrob.
A better way is to elevate User Account Control without prompting. It leaves User Account Control enabled and tinkers just a bit with some of the settings of UAC instead of completely disabling the UAC function which disables the complete security feature in Windows 7 which is not a wise thing to do.
This setting becomes immediately active. Test it by launching a program that prompted for allowance before. You will have no prompt now. Thank you so much! Can it be made to work for a non-administrator account as well?
The service is not available in the Home Premium edition and is available only in the Professional and ultimate editions. Very useful, Ray. Will probably use this. Earlier I had UAC disabled in the registry, but that caused some side-effects and was no ideal situation, so edited it back in the registry. Mister two 3 weeks ago. Wickmesh 2 months ago.

Another way is to use a standard user or guest account instead of an administrator account that is created after installing Windows.

Very good and very useful. And i think that a UAC has been improved since vista or so i was told but not much of improving? Many thanks for sharing this with us Raymond.
