| Vista Ultimate 64bit | How do I disable UAC for individual programs, like anti-virus? Hello, I sort of feel safer with the User Account Control feature. However, I recently installed an anti-virus program, and every time I start the computer it needs me to grant elevated permissions manually (rest of screen turns grey and I need to click "continue"). I do know how to disable the feature as a whole, but is it not possible to disable the need to approve the programs I use every day, like the anti-virus startup or for that matter some often-used games that need admin permissions..? |

What AV software is that? Are you sure that it is actually 100% compatible with Vista? ss. |

What the user (and I) would like is a way to make the program run at elevated level without the prompt. Thanks. |

Precisely, why isn't there a checkbox that says 'Don't prompt for elevation again, I trust this program'? |

| | Re: How do I disable UAC for individual programs, like anti-virus? It IS that simple. I KNOW. Because I have installed every app I used to run in XP, as admin, and I NEVER see a UAC prompt. (I do see the prompt when installing, but never after that.) If that is not they way it works for anyone else, well, too bad. I got mine!
