User Account Control : How to allow a specific app?

Hello NG,

is it possible - and if yes how - to "always allow" a speciffic
application to be started with out the user account control window
popping up.

In general I think it is ok to have this window popping up, but on some
frequently used application it is kind of bothering to always see this
window.

Is this a normal user-type application, or one that genuinely performs
some sort of administrative task?

For the former, it's likely a failure of the application installer to set
security permissions properly, or plain ignorance on the part of the
vendors. You might want to look at http://www.threatcode.com

If the latter, you'll have to live with it.

You can give the Norton UAC Tool a try. It is a beta but it DOES work. I
have used it on Vista. It does NOT work under Windows 7. Make sure you
download the correct 32 bit or 64 bit version for YOUR version of Vista.

I, like Rainer, would like to run one specific program without the UAC box
popping every time. After reading these responses this is how I feel.

It seems crazy that you would need a third party program to launch a known
program without a popup box to click every time. Is there really no way to
add programs to a list of allowed software? I guess the reasoning behind
this is that malware could exploit an option like that? So frustrating, and
people like myself do not want to add extra crap to overcome ridiculous
problems like UAC popups. I don't think I have ever seen UAC popup for
anything that I did not intend to run anyway. I may just take my chances
and turn it off.
