anyway to whitelist apps re: UAC in win7?

[tommo123]

i mean, a firewall advisory pops up the first time an app tries to access the net. you choose to allow or deny and that's it...... until the app is changed via update. nice and convenient.

is there a way with UAC to allow a program to run without that popup - until it's changed?

that way at least, you'd know something was up if a program that you hadn't updated activated the UAC - might be a virus or whatever.

Not with the default UAC, I believe Symantec has (had?) an app that let you do that although I can't remember it's name.

Yep SrRun I believe will do what you are looking for. I ran it before with programs that required me to enter a password on a UAC bootup alert. The program was set to bootup on startup and always needed admin access to run. Worked well. Make sure to get the beta version SuRun 1.2.0.9 Beta 1 may have a newer one by now not sure. That is the only one that would install and work on Windows 7 for me. On my older Windows XP machine the final version worked fine. It was awesome having a UAC like feature in Windows XP though.
