Is there a way to grant an applicatoin the right to execute now and forever
more? An app that I use 3,4,10,15 times a day triggers an UAC prompt. I
understand that the app should be written in a different manner so that it
does not need Admin rights. Until it is re-written, I do not want to be
prompted __EVERY__ time i launch it. Is this possible?
Since I think I already know the answer (but I am wrong far more than I
would like to admit which is why i am posting), Why not???
and to answer the first 3 arguments against: 1) I don't care that the app
should be written differently. It is not written differently now, and I need
to run it now. 2) It's not really a security hole to whitelist an app(s) -
UAC is still running. Firewall is still running. User is still a least
priveledge account, etc. 3) i haven't thought far enough to have 3 counter
arguments.
Can someone explain to MS the value in grannular configuration? 'Configure
UAC' should have a few more options than Turn On / Off.
Thanks for all of your help and feedback.
