Developer’s Description

By Itknowledge24

Turn off UAC for a specific application.

Microsoft released Windows Vista in 2007, and Windows Vista included a lot of security improvements, and a completely new security feature called: User Account Control (UAC). At first everybody loved this feature, however, soon UAC became annoying too many users.Microsoft then released Windows 7 in 2009, with some UAC improvements. This time however, users where able to better manage User Account Control Settings, but for many users this was NOT enough, it basically didn't solve the "annoying" issue. In 2010, Itknowledge24.com Community released UAC Trust Shortcut 1.0. UAC Trust Shortcut 1.0 is a free software tool that allows you to turn off User Account Control (UAC) for a specific application you trust and use every day.

Works as advertized, but not from Startup menu

Pros
Successfully created a shortcut which launched an app (which normally needed a UAC click) without the UAC click.
Cons
Could not get this shortcut to then work from the startup menu. The interface is also a little odd (though manageable).
Summary
I was terrified to try this with so few user downloads, but Avast and Windows Defender cleared it so I trusted CNET. It seems harmless, and uninstalled cleanly so far as I can tell. In my case I wanted to run apcSysTray.exe (system tray options for APC UPS) on startup, but it required a UAC click. "UAC Trust Shortcut" created an icon which launched the system tray app, but did not require a click (other things still did). That was just as advertised. However,... When I put the shortcut in the startup folder it was not recognized. After digging a little (there's a minimal pdf in the "UAC Trust Shortcut" folder in Program Files), I found that a "service" (not really, just a running process) needed to be launched. I put that in the startup menu too but got a bizarre cyclic behavior which I needed to task-manager out of. This defeated my purpose of bypassing a UAC click for the startup item. As stated above the interface is also a bit odd, but still understandable. Documentation is essentially hidden and very spartan. I had to track down the tracer.exe "service" on my own. If you are really annoyed by one click then this is your thing, but if you wanted to bypass UAC blockages to unattended startups then look elsewhere.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 31, 2011<p/>PS: I had to go to their site for the 64 bit version.
