Selectively disabling UAC for specific programs on Windows 7

Question

I have some programs running on start-up like Everything. UAC prompts every time the Windows starts. How can I set a program to make sure that no intervening prompt would appear during start-up?

Answer 1

Try reading the documentation:

1.12 How do I bypass the UAC to run "Everything" with administrative privileges on system startup?

Answer 2

Task scheduler is your friend (Basic Task - Start Program at Log On - check Highest privileges).

Don't forget to remove (or move) your current startup icon or registry entry afterwards.

Answer 3

Task scheduler is an ok solution for something that runs on startup. But the most flexible way to do this is to use the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. It enables you to directly disable UAC for any application you decide to trust. The compatibility fix you need to select is RunAsInvoker.

Answer 4

If you right click on the application executable, click properties then on the compatibility tab select "Run as Administrator" then click apply, you should no longer get the warning box.

Answer 5

see this I used it and it succeeded using ACT for selectively disabling UAC
