Grant permanent UAC permission to one program?

How can I whitelist a specific application so I don't have to get the dreadful propt each time I login? It's actually an .exe patch needed and located in the startup programs in msconfig.

    AFAIK you cannot selectively disable UAC for certain applications, only disable UAC completely – James Apr 07 '12 at 20:06
  • I really hope there is a workaround, otherwise it's the biggest fail ever.. – polyglot Apr 07 '12 at 20:08
  • Remember using this workaround a while ago now actually, might be of use http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2010/08/27/act-suppressing-elevation-prompts-for-legacy-applications.aspx – James Apr 07 '12 at 20:25

You can avoid a UAC prompt by running the executable as a scheduled task that starts when a user logs in.

When creating the task, make sure you check the box "run with highest privileges".
