HearthRanger requires admin privileges.
Admin privileges require user confirmation... which can be annoying, especially if you want to run HearthRanger (and battle.net) automatically on boot.
Easy:Download this .exe. It's a compiled AHK script...

... and put it in the same directory as HearthRanger and
___run it once as admin___. (Running it more than once as admin doesn't hurt anything.)
When you run it for the first time as admin, the script creates a trusted Windows task for HearthRanger.exe and then executes that task.
Then, now that the trusted task is created, each time you run the AHK script (with normal privileges; not as admin), that trusted task is triggered, causing HeartRanger to run without UAC or permission prompts. You can now put a shortcut to the AHK script exe in your startup folder.
If you move or rename the AHK script, you must rerun it as admin to create the trusted task with the new filename.

-- Add two lines add to the very end: 1) "RunAsTask()" and 2) "Run HearthRanger.exe" (without the quotes)
-- Save the script in the same directory as Hearthranger.exe
-- Run the script as admin once to create the registry entries.
