While What-Am-I-Doing has been succesfully starts on XP and Windows 7, the user account control stuff has stopped it starting succesfully on vista machines if you're not the administrator.
There's a few people on the web that have been addressing this problem, the info in this post allowed me to fix this issue.
The key things are:
- On first run create a link to the appref-ms file, and put it in the SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run registry key
- Switch off automatic updates
- Manage the update in the program.
The only problem with this approach is that if the app is uninstalled then the link is left in the registry key.
