Since installing Notepad++ 4.6 under vista I can no longer run the program without the vista UAC box popping up asking me to type in the admin password so that gup.exe can run. I assume this is to do with the new update plugin? If it's not able to run without me having to type the admin password in every time is there an easy way to disable it until a bug fix is released?
Many thanks
This can be remedied if the developer adds a Vista manifest file to the EXE allowing it to run as high as privilege as possible. This will make the annoying dialog go away.

Another option is to right click on the shortcut, select Properties, and on the Compatibility Tab select "Run As Administrator".
Run Notepad++. When the UAC box pops up, click "Cancel". You should get 2 error messages, and then Notepad++ will open.
Go to Settings -> Preferences...
Click on the MISC tab, and uncheck "Enable Notepad++ auto-updater. Click "Close" and exit Notepad++.
The next time you launch, you shouldn't get the UAC prompt.
Perfect, thanks a lot Jared. Disabling the auto-updater has fixed the problem.
