I have been searching for a way to tell Windows 7 to ignore UAC for specific progams, basically to ignore the nag screen.
This works:
Go to this link and download skipuac.zip and install Install.cmd Make sure to install it ELEVATED.
Link
Note:actual link for the download page is:
Download page link
Then copy the file ElevatorRunner.exe to the directory of the executable you want to elevate.
Make a shortcut to your program, in this case I am using an old QuickBooks and put on your desktop, or you can edit the shortcut right from your start menu.
Right click properties.
In the Target box copy what is there already, but replace the executable with elevatorrunner at the end.
ex:
"C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Basic\ElevatorRunner.exe" and follow it with the original path, in this case "C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Basic\qbw32.exe"
So the whole Target box looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Basic\ElevatorRunner.exe" "C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Basic\qbw32.exe"
Then in the Start in box put the path. In this case:
"C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Basic"
Bingo. It works.
Now I am doing it somewhat differently than the website, because I don't understand how they just put in ElevatorRunner at the beginning because that didn't work for me.
Maybe there is some variable I am missing?
Just wanted to share this useful tool.
