Hi, I have an i5 Mac mini w/ bootcamp running Windows 7 64Bit home premium. I installed macs fan control for bootcamp and i set the preference for macs fan control to startup mininumized but upon reboot, it doesn't startup at all unless i manually launch up macs fan control.
The UAC is set on default and the user is admin.
I would like it to startup upon boot into windows 7 desktop. Help!

Are you running the latest version of MFC for Windows (1.0.7) ?
Is the autorun option checked in MFC preferences window?

Yes i am running the latest version of MFC 1.07 on my bootcamp Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.
And yes i enabled it to autostart minimized in the preferences but upon reboot, it doesn't autostart and i have to start it up manually.

I noticed there is a shield next to the icon, so is UAC blocking it from autostarting? And if so, how do i get the UAC to allow it to autostart?

Try temporary disable UAC, will MFC start in this case?

If i disable UAC, and upon reboot the MFC does autostart.
But I want the UAC enabled for security reasons, so how do i get UAC to allow MFC to autostart?

Will do some research for this improvement, will notify in this thread
Currently (as a workaround) you can set MFC to run automatically using Windows Sheduler, it works with UAC
