    I know one can change how to allow User Account Control to change its settings (the slider) but is there a way for controlling which programs are always allowed (giving it permission hence never having to see that annoying window for that program)? I do not want to disable it. I just want Windows 7 to know which programs to allow and which to not allow.

    Thank you

    Whatever works

    HI

    Thanks a lot for your help. UAC Trust Shortcut that one user suggests works by creating shortcuts on your desktop. Unfortunately that is not what I am looking for (BTW there is a way to do what that shortcut app does manually.). As far as the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit is concerned it is not for people like me but for those who create.)

    thnx again


    Whatever works

    Suggestion:

    Hi,

    Please follow the steps below.

    1. Download and install Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit.
    2. Run Compatibility Administrator with Administrator.
    3. Right clikc “Custom Databases”->“New Database(1)”, select “Create New”->“Application Fix…”.
    4. Type names of the program in  “Name of the programto be fixed” and “Name of the vendor for this program”, click “Browse…”to choose the trust execution file。
    5. Click “next”, choose “Operating system modes”->“None”,  select“Select additional compatibility modes”->“RunAslnvoker” option, click “next” until “finished”.
    6. Click “Save”, type name of the file in “Datebase Name”, click OK, and then type file name to save the program list, “File”->“Install”, to add the program list to Windows 7 UAC.

    If the issue persists, you may have a try with these methods below.

    Here are one discussion and a tool can be referred to.

    How do i stop the UAC prompts for one particular program I am trying to run at startup with windows 7?

    Hi Ivan (Are you Chinese, Taiwanese or...?) - I've lived there.

    Thanks for your help. I did as you suggested. My 1st problem was in step 5. You wrote, "choose “Operating system modes”->“None”,

    Well that was not what showed up next. I was never given the chance/choice to choose 'none' anywhere. I clicked on next and your following instruction did show up: "  select“Select additional compatibility modes”->“RunAslnvoker” option, click “next” until “finished”. I did that.

    I then didn't really understand ' 6. ' you wrote, "Click “Save”, type name of the file in “Datebase Name”, click OK," which I did. I wrote as The Name of the software again but added an underscore and then you wrote, "then type file name to save the program list, “File”->“Install”, to add the program list to Windows 7 UAC." And this is what I did not understand. Another window did pop up where a name with the .sdb extension was to be given. Was I supposed to write 'install'? I didn't. I write Everything again but with a number. Assuming I did something wrong, anyway on reboot I still got the UAC prompt so it did not work. 

    Now here's the thing how do I delete all of this work? There is no delte on the software and none on r-click and the one on the keyboard doesn't work either. Do I just delete the the sdb file?

    BTW in the places I was supposed to type a name (or something) it showed it blued out as such for ex,  " <new Application> " Was I supposed to place the name within those 2 'arrows'? For example <EvythingSoftwr> Because I didn't. All I wrote was,   EvythingSoftwr

    Thank you

    Whatever works
