Windows 7 Being Annoying
So, every time I build and run anything, that stupid User Account notification pops up asking if I wanted to allow it to run. Is there a way to selectively turn it off? I don't want to turn it off completely, because I think it is useful at times.

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying
I'm assuming you aren't using Visual Studio, because I've never had that problem in my life...
You can't blame some shitty, 3rd party compiler that Microsoft has nothing to do with on Windows... I happen to be a fan of Windows 7, and Visual Studio is my favorite compiler.

Has never happened to me either, but you can turn off User Account Control if you'd like.

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying
I was using CodeBlocks... Now I am just using GCC with the good ol' gedit.

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying
He's right, the issue isn't with Windows 7 itself, it's with Codeblocks it seems. The UAC is supposed to protect you, and you shouldn't really run as an administrator anyways, it's like running as root.GyroVorbis wrote:I'm assuming you aren't using Visual Studio, because I've never had that problem in my life...

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying
People still use Code::Blocks?
Even the Express Edition of VS is 1,000 times better than that IDE. I would know, I used Code::Blocks for 3 years.

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying
Code::Blocks is absolutely terrible. You should use QTCreator if you want a GOOD cross-platform IDE.

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying
I thought the express version lacked the x64 support. I am very satisfied with the ol' GCC. It's great. It does suck that gedit does not indent for you, but other than that, no complaints.dandymcgee wrote:People still use Code::Blocks?

Re: Windows 7 Being Annoying
I used to use it, but then I used netbeans for a while then I tried it again and just couldn't... I say that all code::blocks users should switch to netbeans, unless you're on windows in which case VS is something to look into... I'm on linux and just using command line compiler and a text editor but as of late I've been using QTcreator and I MAY use it for projects other than QT ones later...
