Can't run Dropbox unless it has administrator rights
Windows 7 64bit
For some reason dropbox doesn't start with startup anymore because it needs administrator rights to start. If I try running the app normally without administrator rights, nothing ha...
What solved this problem for me (not saying is going to to it for everybody else) was to delete everything in C:\Users\"your user name"\AppData\Local\Temp folder. There were 3 or 4 files starting with dropbox..... (can't remember the exact names) which I couldn't delete only after restarting windows in Safe Mode. So, I deleted everything in Temp folder while in Safe Mode, rebooted normally and voila, dropbox started after logon on it's own. Cheers!
@Tony Kangrui : if placing the same shortcut thats on the desktop into the start folder doesnt work, that would signify that you are also starting something else that is releasing or allowing access to DB to run. as the startup and a desktop shortcut will have the same effect, with the only difference being timing of launch, one at user login, one later by manual selection.
.
if this is the case, create a scheduled task that runs 1 minute after user login, that runs the shortcut, by then you should be able to expect what ever the other thing is thats limiting access before it, or allowing access after it, has now been activated and the task should launch Db as expected.
