Vista Tutorial - Bypass UAC for certain progs

One of my programs (Quickbooks Accountant 2006) asks for an Admin
password every time it runs because it's from an Unknown Publisher. Is
there any way to stop this happening, i.e. tell Vista we know who the
publisher is?

Thanks

Would you like UAC to run in your home and ask you if it's ok every time you
open a door???
Grabs door handle and trys to turn and the door ask "ARE YOU SURE?"

Have a read of this for setting auto Admin.

How to run a program as an administrator
When you run a program function or a system function, you may receive a UAC
prompt. Most of these programs are legacy programs. Newer versions of the
same programs do not trigger UAC. You cannot set UAC to automatically run a
program as an administrator without the user being prompted.

In Windows Vista, some programs only run correctly if you run them as an
administrator. You may be able to run newer versions of the same programs
without having to run them as an administrator.

Note A security risk may result by using administrative credentials to run
an unknown program. Only run programs that you trust as an administrator.

Important These steps may increase your security risk. These steps may also
make the computer or the network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users
or by malicious software such as viruses. We recommend the process that this
article describes to enable programs to operate as they are designed to or to
implement specific program capabilities. Before you make these changes, we
recommend that you evaluate the risks that are associated with implementing
this process in your particular environment. If you decide to implement this
process, take any appropriate additional steps to help protect the system. We
recommend that you use this process only if you really require this process.

To run a program as an administrator, follow these steps:1. Right-click the
icon that you use to run the program, and then click Run as administrator.
2. When you are prompted for an administrator password or for a
confirmation, type the administrator password, or click Continue.

For some program icons, the Run as administrator option is not available on
the shortcut menu. For these program icons, follow these steps:1. Right-click
the icon that you use to run the program, and then click Properties. On the
Shortcut tab, the Target box contains the location and the name of the
program file.
2. Open the folder that contains the program file.
3. Right-click the program file, and then click Run as administrator. If
you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type
the password, or click Continue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you must run a program as an administrator, you may want to set up the
program so that you automatically run it as an administrator. To do this,
follow these steps:1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program,
and then click Properties.
2. On the Compatibility tab, click to select the Run this program as an
administrator check box, and then click OK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Compatibility tab is not available for some program icons. For these
program icons, follow these steps:1. Right-click the icon that you use to run
the program, and then click Properties. On the Shortcut tab, the Target box
contains the location and the name of the program file.
2. Open the folder that contains the program file.
3. Right-click the program file, and then click Properties.

Heh. Funny how all these people who use Vista do not even know how to use
it.

I've used this method to run legacy CAD helper programs in offices with a
dozen workstations.

walk in? Or do you make a visual check to determine their ID? "Why yes,
grandma come on in." "No, strange person, go away." I can't understand the
problem with UAC, make your visual check and invite the person in....

Who wants it on? I for sure and many others. One of the best features MS
ever implemented hands down. UAC is NOT designed to be against you or play
the dumb user, it's a security feature to help the user. If you don't
understand you should really read more into it and get a better
understanding of what it does and why it was designed the way it is. I hope
the next version of Windows is fixed where it cannot be disabled at all.

They screen check the people for weapons, drugs and diseases before they
come through the door. If they're clean, and I brought them in, why in the
hell wouldn't I want them to have the run of the place. Sorry granny,
you're not allowed out of your room.
