How do i stop the UAC prompts for one particular program im trying to run at startup with windows 7?
I need some help with this one. Whenever the computer starts I get two prompts from the UAC to allow a program (RivaTuner.exe) to run from an unknown publisher. I searched online and found that by adding the program to the scheduled tasks list that this may solve the problem. I created a scheduled task for my rivatuner.exe program to run at system startup and the program starts but I still get the two prompts from the UAC to allow the program to run from an unknown publisher. How do I make it so that I dont get the prompts for this program every time I start up the computer without turning off the UAC all together? I understand the usefulness of the UAC and dont want to completely shut it off but the prompts are getting annoying. The UAC was my greatest annoyance in vista and I had hoped the issue had been fixed in windows seven by having a program acceptance list added but I have yet to find one. Any help provided would be greatly appreciated. Here are the settings for running the program as a scheduled task. Under general tab: Name: RivaTuner.exe Run only when user is logged on (Im the only user on the computer) The run with highest privileges box is checked. Configure for: windows 7 Under Triggers tab: At startup enabled Under Actions tab: Start a program C:\Program Files\Riva Tuner v2.24\RivaTuner.exe Other than the above setting changes, everything else was kept at their default settings. Thanks again in advance for your help.

If you feel it is safe to run this program you can try usinga resource editor to remove the "24" table in the program's executible.

Did you set to run the tasks as administrator? FYI I include the steps below. 1. Click Start, right click on Computer and choose Manage.2. Click Task Scheduler on the left panel. 3. Click Create Task on the right panel.4. Type a name for the task.5. Check Run with highest privileges.6. Click Actions tab.7. Click New.8. Browse to the program in the Program/script box. Click OK. 9. On desktop, right click, choose New and click Shortcut.10. In the box type: schtasks.exe /run /tn TaskName where TaskName is the name of task you put in on the basics tab and click next.11. Type a name for the shortcut and click Finish. Additionally, you need to run the saved scheduled task shortcut to run the program instead of running the application shortcut to ignore the IAC prompt. When startup the system will run the program via the original shortcut. Therefore you need to change the location to run the saved task. Please: 1. Open Regedit.2. Find the entry of the startup item in Registry. It will be stored in one of the following branches. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunHKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 3. Double-click on the correct key, change the path to the saved scheduled task you created.Arthur Xie - MSFT

Hello Shadow: I made this possible, since I created the program: UAC Trust Shortcut 1.0. With my software tool you can selectively create a whitelist. Download from my website: http://www.itknowledge24.com I hope you find this information useful and if you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact me and let me know. I hope this information was helpful… Have a nice day… Best regards, FisnikItknowledge24.com

Hi, The original postor asked, "How do i stop the UAC prompts for one particular program im trying to run at startup with windows 7 ?" If this is a "scheduled task" that autoruns immediately after you logon, open Task Scheduler, find the task, and change "when running the task use the following user account" from Users/YourUserName/Whatever, to the Local System account. And like Authur said, "Check “Run with highest privileges”. Regards, Bret 2
