How to create a shortcut that lets a standard user run an app as admin w/o UAC prompt

http://www.howtogeek.com/124087/how...ard-user-run-an-application-as-administrator/

Tested; it works .

Alternate method (the one that I use):
Avoid UAC prompts by using an elevated program launcher
How to run a program elevated at startup in a standard account when UAC is enabled

RUNAS /SAVECRED is huge security hole

 

So, saved credentials can be used by other programs and also malware? This means that "savecred" should never be used if you don't want to open this HUGE security hole.

 

If another program/user/malware uses "runas administrator" to launch a program, then yes the stored admin credentials will be used.
