Turn off UAC for a specific app!!

Have any of you seen this? It appears to be a way to turn off UAC for a specific app. I haven't played with it yet but it looks very interesting and should be used judiciously only for app you KNOW to be safe.

I am a big proponent of leaving UAC turned on, but do wish there were a way to tell it that there are certain apps I don't want or need to be warned about. This may be the answer to that. Right now it is only a "proof of concept", but I suspect it may blossom into something more if it pans out.

Use the CAREFULLY!!!!!!!! Like I said I have NOT tested it yet myself.

I`ll let others test it first, lol.
I am used to UAC anyway.

 

Yeah I am used to it as well, and I highly recommend that folks leave it on. But, for some things I use a lot and know are safe, I would like to tell UAC to ignore them.

Why couldn't Microsoft just have included a check box in UAC, "remember this action"? Forget it, it's too simple for Microsoft.

 

If you have the app. run at startup, you could just use Task Scheduler. But yea, for apps. that dont need to run at startup this app could help...however im not going to try it just yet. uac doesnt really annoy me, 1or 2 extra clicks.

 

Hey sometimes, 1-2 clicks could save you bank account

 

enter button then. ;]

 

Wow this is Great after a long time a good conversation about UAC and its Advantages ... Indeed UAC is a great feature and likw Rodknee said a simple remember me button would be great too.. or Like comodo let it follow some rules

 

Lol.... UAC fanboys... i seriously think they should have included 'remember this action' feature...then it wud have been great...

 

UAC kind of reminds me like a bad Firewall that just keeps asking even though you've clicked "allow" million times already. That said, I still use it.

 

Interesting find, Gary. If I had an app I used regularly that always prompted for permission I'd try this out, however, only the off program or two asks for UAC permission.
