UAC in Windows 7

When I start FreeCommander the UAC prompt opens in Windows 7. This started recently but I don't know what's changed to cause this. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Maybe a tab with a restricted folder is opened at start (last used folder, start folder, locked tab, ...).

I have searched and searched but cannot find the culprit.

Where did you install FreeCommander?
Start FreeCommander with a fresh INI-file from the run command:
<<installpath>>\freecommander.exe /Ini=fc.ini
A new fc.ini is created (the default is freecommander.ini)
Is the UAC still popping up when you start with a fresh INI-file?

The UAC is still popping up with a fresh INI file. But there's no prompt if I rename the FreeCommander folder. Thanks ralfso for the help.

I see the same thing on Win7, Ctrl+D asks me for the admin's username and password. A workaround is to specify a value in Tools > Settings > DOS Prompt, e.g. cmd.exe or %COMSPEC%.
