The trick involves downloading a Microsoft utility and clicking through about a dozen prompts, but it really does work, and you can keep your security settings just where they are while removing a major annoyance. Here's hoping Microsoft includes this kind of app-by-app disabling in their upcoming Service Pack 1.


First download and install Application Compatibility Toolkit.
Find the shortcut icon for Compatibility Administrator. Right click it and click Run as administrator.
In the left hand pane, right-click on the database under Custom Databases and select Create New, and select Application Fix.
Enter the name and other details of the application you want to alter behavior on and then browse to it to select it. Click Next.
Click Next until you are in the Compatibility Fixes screen.
On the Compatibility Fixes screen, find the item RunAsInvoker, and check it.
Click Next and then Finish.
Select File and Save As. Save the file as a app.SDB type file in a directory you will easily find it.
Navigate to Start Menu, Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
Run the following command at the prompt :
sdbinst <path>\app.sdb

Where <path> is the location where you have saved the app.sdb file. For example, if you saved the .SDB file as app.sdb in the c:\Windows folder, the command should be like this:

sdbinst c:\windows\app.sdb

You should now get a confirmatory message.
Voila! You’re done, Vista will no longer prompt you with the UAC everytime you open your favorite app.
