This is an INCORRECT tip. What it does is it lies to applications that CAN RUN PROPERLY without UAC but require UAC for some reason to run without a UAC prompt by telling the app that it is running elevated. It does NOT actually run the app elevated. There is NO WAY to make only a certain app run elevated without prompt or it would breach the system’s security.

Hi,

Didn’t work for me…

I have configured one of my Virtual Machines in VirtualBox to use a physical partition. Problem is this requires admin privileges. I tried your fix – didn’t work. I guess I have to find another solution. Thanks anyway.

Mike

This has been around for a while. All those compatibility fixes that you keep downloading from Windows Update are nothing more than SDB files going into the master list. If you use ACT you’ll see thousands of applications that are already configured.

It is unfair to say that MS should have thought about this before. Even XP has had ACT. They’ve done such a good job of hiding it that you’re just now starting to hear about it. I can hardly see where hiding the gory details is in some way a failure. If you don’t want to wait for compatibility fix for your app then you can use ACT. The wizard is actually pretty simple if you don’t feel like getting technical.

See, it should have this sort of functionality written into it, you shouldn’t have to mess around and manually disable UAC for EACH program. You can bet the average user isnt going to bother with this process for each individual program, and just continue to have UAC disabled (which will inevitably lead to doing something you wish you hadn’t).

Yet another failure in foresight in microsoft’s court. Vista really is shaping up to be the new Windows ME, and between Vista and the xbox360′s slew of hardware problems, this year isnt shaping up to be one of microsoft’s good ones.

However, nice article, and thanks for posting it.
