Windows Vista User Account Control

[xeodragon]

Hey guys!

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to disable User Account Control (UAC) for one particular program (i.e. RMClock) rather than turning UAC off completely. I tried searching with no results. Thanks!

A suggestion from the RmClock forums....


A workaround solution for MS Windows Vista 32bit (I used Ultimate edition)...

Use "Task Scheduler" (in "Accessories"->"System Tools") to start RMClock.

In "General" tab, select Administrators group (used as an example) and tick "Run with highest privileges".

Set triggers "At log on".

Set Action "Start a program" e.g. C:\Program Files\RMClock\RMClock.exe -profile 3

There is no way to disable UAC for one program only, it's either on or off.

Actually with the compatibility pack they can mark apps and drivers, but the task scheduler trick is easier in this case.

I tried this for speedfan and it works. Speedfan would of course run from the programs:startup but hd support isn't there without elevated permissions.

It was also interesting to see what tasks are scheduled automagically with a fresh install of vista.
