how to automatically start MFC without admin rights?

Hi,

I want to launch MacsFanControl at boot time for any sessions (some of them not having admin rights).

I am on windows 7 on bootcamp with a macbook pro unibody.

To do that I have created a service that is launched at startup by the "system" user with all priviledges. The MFC process is actually correctly laucnhed but the fan control is not working : my fans still run at full speed...

Does any one know how to solve this issue? Or if there is any workaround?

BTW : I have also tried to change the register keys, but when a user without admin rights login, it fails to launch MFC.

Any thoughts?

The feature is planned, but I don't think there's a workaround at the moment

Ok, thanks.

Then, how can I launch automatically MFC when a non-admin user log in : if my kid reboot the computer I'd like him to be able to start MFC though his account does not have admin rights (and he does not know the admin password :roll:) ?

Is there any technical solution on windows 7?

Best regards.

Try having admin user logged in and MFC running there or try running MFC using run as command (run as administrator with specifying admin password)
