Developer’s Description

By MaiSoft
Run your program elevated without UAC dialog.
Had you been annoyed by UAC so much until you want to disable it for god sake? Hold it! You don't need to settle for that. UAC is good, it just needs QuickAdmin (QA) to make it perfect!QA runs your program elevated without UAC dialog if you right-click on the exe and click on Run as QuickAdmin, but the UAC will still shows up if you just double-click on the exe, which means the function of UAC is still there: preventing unauthorized program from running with administrator privileges. Because I thought when we click on Run as Administrator, Windows is supposed to just run the program as administrator, not ask us again in UAC.QA supports Elevated Shortcut and it is much better than other similar tools you can found on Internet by now. It uses VBS as executer which offers much better speed. You can convert many shortcuts to Elevated Shortcuts (and vice-versa) with just a click. The elevated shortcut can be used by multi-user, as long as you installed QA for every user.QA also supports de-elevating which is pretty useful for some situation. For example, you wrote a script for Win8, which requires administrator privileges to work. You run the script as administrator, but then if your script restart the Explorer directly, anything about Win8 Metro apps WOULD not open, unless you restart the Explorer with de-elevated privileges by using Win8 Task Manager, OR if the user installed QA, you can write a command in your script to restart the explorer with de-elevated privileges by using QA.
