Start a program without User Account Control (UAC) prompt using UAC Trust Shortcut

http://www.ghacks.net/2010/07/23/uac-trust-shortcut-launch-programs-without-uac-prompts/

This program works only in admin accounts, not standard accounts.

This program requires .NET Framework 4.0.

The newest version, unlike what the review states, uses the icon from the target executable.

I recommend automatically starting the program's Tracer.exe elevated at user logon by following the instructions at http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/67503-task-create-run-program-startup-log.html; skip steps 10 and 11. Tracer.exe needs to be running elevated in order to elevate other programs on demand.

 

In the link above, Elevated Shortcut is mentioned in the comments. It does work. I recommend it over UAC Trust Shortcut because it's simpler. Elevated Shortcut works only in admin accounts, not standard accounts. Elevated Shortcut automates the steps at http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11949-elevated-program-shortcut-without-uac-prompt-create.html.

 

Why using an application for that?

You can start elevate any shortcut using task scheduler. It also only works under Admin account.

No point in using anything else, really.

(example http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...ortcuts-without-uac-prompts-in-windows-vista/)

It also works under Windows 7, obviously.

No need really - just a time saver, especially if doing lots of these.
