Vista - Setting UAC Control to allow certain Programs

**xguntherc** · 07-16-2009

Basically I do not want to completely turn off the UAC because i like what it does. I think it is a great addition to vista and win 7.

I have eVGA Precision (GPU overclocking and monitoring software) set not to run at startup. but to start and up the default videocard fan speed. then it closes, its a setting in the program. So i have it set to turn up the fan speed at startup. but the program doesn't continue to run.

BUTTTT everytime i start the PC the annoying UAC pops up instantly wanting me to "allow" evga precision to run. So can I setit to ALWAYS allow it.. without disabling the UAC

Thanks!!! Help will be rewarded

You can set the task scheduler to start your program at a given time or on a given date, or after certain other criteria have been met, since the task scheduler is elevated the UAC will not activate, if you want to start it from a shortcut, you can set it up in task scheduler, then create a shortcut to the the task like so
c:\Windows\system32\schtasks.exe /run /tn "[folder]\[taskname]"

more information on how to do this is available here Bypass UAC using a Desktop Shortcut

Personal opinion only -
Anything Norton I tend to avoid - like the plague.

I can. The Norton UAC Tool actually works great in Vista.
