How to disable the User Account Control Prompt for a certain application only
Read about it here.A quick run down:
1. Install the Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0.
2. In the Start menu, locate the Compatibility Administrator inside the ACT folder. Right-click it and Run as administrator.
3. In the left hand pane, right-click on the database under Custom Databases and select Create New, and select Application Fix.
4. Enter the name of the application you want to alter and browse to it to select it.
5. Click Next until you are in the Compatibility Fixes screen.
6. On the Compatibility Fixes screen, find the item RunAsInvoker, and check it.
7. Click Next and Finish.
8. Select File and Save As. Save the file as appname.sdb in a directory you will easily find it.
9. Copy the appname.sdb file to the Vista computer you want to alter the elevation prompt behavior on.
10. Click Start>All Programs>Accessories. Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
11. Run the command: sdbinst appname.sdb
It should display: Installation of "appname" complete.
Somehow I don’t get this to work like I would like it to. Using the RunAsInvoker setting forces the program to run under the User security context. What I would like is that I can force a program to run within the Admin security context without triggering an UAC prompt. Example would be MMC.EXE. Disabling UAC as a whole isn’t allowed in our security policy but exections are.
Btw, the 2 other “RusAs..” rights also don’t work like I would like to see it. Does someone else have a possible solution?
