Hello,

I'm running a number of programs such as skype with special settings (for
skype it is Vista SP2 compatability so it doesn't use up my taskbar bar when
minimized). If I do that I get a popup asking me if I'm sure I want to run
the app (allow it to make changes). I don't want to turn UAC completely
off but even on the lowest settings before shutting it off, it has popups
for my "special" apps. How do I add exceptions for my special apps as I
have quite a few of them I run on a regular basis.

Thanks
 
You can try installing the apps into c:\users instead of c:\program files.
Otherwise it's turn of UAC or get the software updated for Vista/Win7.

Turning UAC off is not a god idea from a security perspective.

But then again, if security is a concern, you really would not be
running MS-Windows.
 
I should have mentioned, I'm running Windows 7 x64***********************************************************
You may want to ask the question in a Windows 7 newsgroup.
