    Re: Headlines - Exclude applications from UAC prompts with Elevator

    I just edit the security policy (secpol.msc) and set it to elevate without prompting for administrators in admin approval mode. That way you don't lose the UAC altogether (and subsequently protected mode in IE is kept) and you don't get anymore annoying popups.

    I thought UAC was supposed to 'learn' safe apps anyway?

    The main reason for that is that certain parts of the motherboard information are locked safely behind the UAC control and can only be accessed by the administrator.

    Whats to stop some hacker making your Elevator from allowing their own malicious software? I don't see how it helps with the security much....

    or turn UAC off
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    Set it up to run at any user log-on in Task Scheduler, and make sure you tick the box for "Run with highest privileges".
    If you can't keep up, stick with reality...
