I have created an app which uses route.exe. Since app uses route.exe, I have to always run the app with "run as administrator" option. Even if I change "Compatibility Mode" and check the "Run as Administrator, it pops up UAC dialoge box. I need to auto-run the app without user input and in the background. Is there a way to sign and register executable for privilege escalation so that UAC dialoge box will not pop up when it runs and it will always run as administrator?

Services are started each time with fixed [admin]credentials, and they are running in background.Besides that services can be even started by simple users - if youconfigure them properly. Services has permissions similar to fles andfolder but Microsoft doesn't provide neither a GUI nor a command line toolfor configuring these permissions. But there are third party tools whichcan do thatExample: SetACL.exehttp://setacl.sourceforge.net/html/examples.html#example23Win-J

Hi, Windows 7 doesn't have such a whitelist. You can use the task scheduler to auto elevate applications. Follow my guide here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=135472 and run always run the application based on the schtask.exe shortcut.

Hi, You can create a shortcut for certain application with elevated privileges. For more information, please refer to the following article: HowTo: Simpler way to bypass UAC for trusted app other than ACT (app compatibility toolkit) Thanks, Novak

Thank you! @Win-J - I can not make it as a service, because I need user specific options, username/password and more for the app. @Novak and @Andre - Thanks a lot, the solution worked for me. I think I should start a new thread for this, but if you know on top of your head, if there is a way to automate the process. or does Win7 SDK provides APIs to do this? I have created an installer for App, but now I have to request each user to go through this process to bypass UAC pop up which is tedious. I was hoping to create an installer which will automate these steps for them and I can smoothly auto start the app. Thanks again for your help!
