Hi,

I'm running Windows Vista and get a UAC warning when Tivo Desktop launches the auto update process. This causes my desktop to freeze until I confirm the request.

Is there some way to configure Tivo Desktop to only check for updates manually or at least modify it to only search once a week or once a month?

I found the following registry key that appears to control this activity:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TiVo\Desktop\LastUpdateCheck

Is there a hidden key to control this update interval?

Thanks

Turn off UAC. Problem solved.

Thanks for the suggestion but turning off UAC is not an option on this system.

found this free program to allow exceptions list to UAC prompts.
