    Is it possible to disable UAC warning for a specific application? I use RMClock for undervolting, and I've got it in the startup queue. I'd rather not have to give it my permission each time I boot the machine.

    Thanks for any help/ideas.

    right click it and go to the properties --> compatibility --> check the box to run as administrator. Apply & OK and it will run as if UAC was off.

    Thanks!

    edit: nope. Still asks for permission. Maybe I'll just live with it and see if it's a problem under Windows 7...
