Disable UAC prompt for specific applications

My kids use a game called Flyff on my Windows Vista Ultimate system. My
kids run under User account privelages. Unfortunately, when my kids run
Flyff, Vista displays a prompt that requires an admin password to use it.
This is extremely annoying for me because I have to go over and type a
password everytime they want to use this program. Is there any way that I
can have this one appliccation to always be approved? I don't want to turn
off UAC, but I have had no choice because I have had to get up one too many
times to enter my admin password for Flyff to run.

See if there is a new version of the game available. It's probalby poorly
written and unecessarily demands Admin access. Are you sure it's a
legitimate program and not a trojan?

Anyway, you can't selectively disable UAC for a single program.

The settings you want seem to be under Parental Controls rather than UAC:

This has nothing to do with a program needing its permissions elevated to
run on the machine. That has to do with UAC and user account's access token
for admin or standard user token.

So, one disables UAC to stop the UAC permissions escalation response/reply
prompt or one uses the Super Administrator account while UAC is enabled..
