What Bacan suggested will work, but is more than is necessary.

For Vista:

Right-click on the shortcut icon for the program.
Click Run as administrator.
UAC asks for permission/credentials here.
Once the registration window pops up, click do not register.
Close the app.

That’s it.

Thanks for the post, this has been bugging me since upgrading to vista. Never even thought about it.

you are the man!!!

Thank you so much for your help!!!

For those of you that want direct instructions:

Go to the control panel in Windows Vista
Go to User Accounts
Click in Turn User Account Control on or off
Uncheck Use User Account Control
Click Ok

after restarting try again in the registration window. Click on never remind me again.

Put the user account control back on, and restart again!!!

Thank you jeebus !! This darn “register” box has been buggin the heck outta me since I went from PS7 to CS2 on my work pc (Win XP). A bit unauthadox, but I ran the photoshop app file as admin, let it start as per, clicked “do not register” and let it finish accessing the HD. Closed my Admin rights box, started CS2 & WOOHOO no darn Register box !!
You guys totally rock – An aggravation gone from every day. Thank you

just like “Frustrated Photoshop user Says”. When I’m not even doing anything on my Windows Vista computer it randomly pops up, I am the only user/administrator and when I click the circle “Do not remind me anymore” it ignores my request and still comes up a short time later.
