in reply to: admin password?? #19072

Hi tickstory,

I just downloaded in run the new setup: as possible and as I prefer it I installed it as user without admin-rights.
But starting tickstory it again requests my admin password 😥

I do not want to run non-admin-programs as admin, why should I?
I can’t understand why your program needs admin-rights? It loads, stores and converts data finally it starts the MT4-terminal.

I know that MT4 installed in Windows’ program folders causes problems saving self-made or dld. EAs and indicators and other files.
That’s why I re-installed the MT4-terminla in ‘my’ Document-Folder, that simplifies everything!!

Now it could be that your program tickstory running with admin-rights will cause other very nasty troubles as it probably stores where ever data as admin-owner for users unable to read, it’ll start the MT4-therminal as admin, which will save everything in the admin folders and so on..

You advised me to reduce the security of my system, by reducing the restrictions of the user privileges.
But your program tickstory (which does nothing special and nothing which is system relevant) is the only one that needs that.,
All the other e.g. StrategyQuant’s TickDataDownloader nor Birt’s TickData Suite requires that.
So I think I am not too immodest to ask you to change this request for the admin-rights. I hope it’s not too complex.

Regards,
Gooly

hmm,

from here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/installed-program-always-need-admin-password-on/a17aa66f-3f87-4f25-a745-adf19c5f3c4b I looked up my registry and find ONLY here:
HKEY_USERSS-1-5-21-13….00SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{DD677DA4-6AA6-435F-A78A-B28452584048}_is1

(..uninstall ??)

several DWORDS – which shall I change?
MajorVersion REG_DWORD (0)
MinorVersion REG_DWORD (9)
NoModify REG_DWORD (1)
NoRepair REG_DWORD (1)

This: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem
and check the value of the following registry DWORD: ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin.
(from the same url) is already at 5 not 1!!

The second hint from here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-change-the-behavior-of-User-Account-Control-by-using-the-slider
turn off user account controll setting – why should I reduce the security only for one program?
The safest option (‘Always Notify’) it tell me to inform me if a program wants to change my Windows Settings or wants to install s.th.
I don’t see the need to fro this!!

Gooly

in reply to: plse free usb-drives correctly. #19083

is there another program than WhoLockMe.
I cannot start it and the other option to use seems to work only with a restart what I cannot do at the moment.

Thanks Gooly

in reply to: Tick-Volume #19086

So this means that if I backtest in MT4 with the history-files created by ts and ask for iVolume(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,1) I get a the volume of ticks of that bar
and if I want iVolume(Symbol(),PERIOD_M5,0) I get the no. of ticks until ‘now’ since this bars was opened?
Is that correct?
