| Summary | 0002190: Make "Request Admin rights" optional | ||||
| Description | I recently moved from WinXP to Win7 - now I can't use Speedfan any more: With WinXP I was able to run it with a limited user, no problems except SMART data was missing. But I lived well with that because Fan control was the main use. Since 4.43 Speedfan requests and enforces Admin rights, which means with Speedfan in Autostart asks for the admin password - so its effectively unusable. I tried starting it via Task manager, but then the Systray-Icon is not visible. From what I read here, running it as a service doesn't really fix that problem. Can we have a command line option to run Speedfan without Admin rights? | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Standard Windows 7 install. Limited user. Admin with Password set. Start Speedfan, it asks for Admin password. | ||||
