Whitelisting UAC?

I want to leave UAC on (and I will either way) but it asks every time I want coretemp to run as well as ccleaner. I trust these two programs. Can I make them trusted by UAC?

Not a big deal, especially for ccleaner, which I only run weekly.

 

try TweakUAC and its Silent Mode. It basically sets UAC to "elevate w/o prompting", so you won't have to click through programs opening, BUT you will have to approve when programs what certain bits of access or want to make changes. It may be just what you're looking for. Or not.

 

No offense to you (Really I appreciate the suggestions) but tweakUAC seems like a terrible program. While I could use it for what I want (I would prefer not to because I don't want a separate program to do this)

Am I at risk if I disable UAC?

This article is pretty silly.

He's basically saying UAC isn't important for the stupidest possible reasons.

But yes I was hoping for maybe a registry tweak.

 

There was an article here, back in Vista days, that talked about using Task Scheduler to do this. It can run a task with elevated privileges. I use it so I can have Speedfan as a startup item without UAC kicking in. If I remember correctly the article went on to explain a mechanism for starting such a scheduled task on demand, for things like you want. Unfortunately, I don't remember how that part was done.

How to Create a Elevated Program Shortcut without a UAC Prompt

this is actually with ccleaner as an example.

for stuff that should be autoelevated at boot/logon, taskscheduler with the specific trigger works well.

 

elevated program shortcut is nice but at that point it's still two clicks, a right and a left

it's not really a big deal but I was curious.

 

why a right and a left?

no, that shortcut is just one click (or doubleclick depending on your os setting) and it runs elevated. the reason: task planer can auto elevate tasks without a user prompt.

 

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

 

I agree, the guy's an obvious idiot.
