Running DIY DataRecovery.nl products in Vista
We have extensively tested and optimized our products for Windows Vista. With Windows Vista a mechanism called 'User Account Control' (or UAC for short) was introduced: the user must explicitly allow a task or program to run. Also, even when logged in as administrator, programs do not automatically run with administrative rights, unless those rights were explicitly granted by the user. Both iRecover and iUndelete require administrative rights in order to be able to access a disk directly. 
  • No optimization was required in the DiskPatch Boot Media Builder code; it does not require administrative access. As DiskPatch itself runs in a DOS environment, Windows Vista UAC does not affect DiskPatch operations.

  • iRecover detects and configures User Account Control automatically.

  • iUndelete will detect Windows Vista and prompt the user to re-start program with administrative rights. iUndelete displays detailed instructions for starting iUndelete with administrative rights.
iRecover has a so-called 'manifest' file embedded that detects if and when administrative rights are required when running in Windows Vista. No user interaction is required. iRecover running in Vista Ultimate

iUndelete Vista UAC prompt If iUndelete detects that administrative rights are required, you will be prompted.

Note that even if you are logged in as Administrator, these rights are not inherited when starting iUndelete!

To grant iUndelete administrative rights once, right-click the shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.
  

To disable to UAC prompt for iUndelete altogether, right click the short-cut and check 'Run this program as an administrator' in the compatibility TAB .

  
iUndelete is now ready to recover data in Windows Vista!
