How to Run an app as Administrator without the prompt?

Solution 1:

Read the following forum post: How to disable the User Account Control Prompt for certain application

It tells you basically, that you have to download Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6 and create a custom App fix database where you assign the 'RunAsAdmin' fix to the exe. I tried it and it worked for me I thought it worked.

Another way

... is described in How to Create a Elevated Program Shortcut without a UAC Prompt

This solution requires you to create a 'scheduled' task for the application and running the app means triggering the task. (For a detailed description with screenshots see the link):

• Run the Task Scheduler via taskschd.msc and Create Task...

  1. Tab General: Give the name [Name] to the new task, check Run with highest privileges and choose "Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2" from the dropdown list Configure for
  2. Tab Actions: Add New... Action Start a program with Program/script = %windir%\System32\cmd.exe and Add arguments = /c start "[Name]" "C:\Program Files\Sample\Program.exe". Substitute [Name] with the name of the task (step 1) and the fill in the path to the program which should run elevated.
  3. Tab Conditions: Uncheck Stop if the computer switches to battery power first, and then uncheck Start the task only if the computer is on AC power

• Create a new shortcut oh the desktop or wherever with the following target location

  schtasks /run /tn "[Name]"
  

  Once again, [Name] is the name of the task (step 1)! Run as Minimized if you don't want the command window to flash up.

• This shortcut and task can only be created and work while logged in as an administrator account. It'll not work in a standard user account.

Solution 2:

I doubt it. If such a thing were possible, every piece of malware would set that option, which would defeat the whole purpose.

Solution 3:

Solution WITHOUT creating shortcuts:

You can download the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (just download it from www.microsoft.com).

Once the toolkit is installed, the rest of the instructions are more complex, but they are very well detailed and explained in the link http://meridian.ws/wordpress/?p=306

This solution is good for skipping the prompt when opening files that are associated to your application.
