WalkWaldo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 this workaround only works for accounts who are inside the administrator group. How do I allow a non-admin (restricted) user to launch an application that, only under Windows 7, requires admin privs? This application runs fine under XP Pro i386 and XP Pro x64 WITHOUT admin privs. But it does not run without admin creds being entered under W-7.

MagicAndre1981 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 This doesn't for for normal/standard users Try to find out why it only runs with admin rights in Win7. The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) is what you need to detect what's wrong with the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasabi Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Sorry for necroposting, but I'm having an odd issue with this. I've created the task, created the shortcut running through the taskscheduler and the program no longer requires the UAC window. However, the TaskScheduler itself does!That's in Portuguese (I live in Brazil), but it's talking about the Task Scheduler. Should I click yes, I don't get a UAC request for the program itself, so I'm guessing that's working. I am in an admin account on Win7 x86.

MagicAndre1981 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 don't rightclick and select "Run as admin" for the schtasks.exe. Simply double click it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasabi Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That's what I did. Also, there is no "run as Admin" set in the properties. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvdude Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Here is a very easy way to run a program and bypass the UAC prompt: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-elevated-shortcut-run-programs-bypass-uac I've used it successfully with Windows 8.1.Hope this helps...

jkauffman Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I recently used this info to open ACAD2000 on a new windows7 machine. It works great and eliminates the UAC window, but it opens the program in the "normal" window instead of maximized. The shortcut is set to run maximized and so is the execution file I'm using with the task. When I open it using just that execution file it opens maximized as it should. Any ideas on what I can do to open maximized. All this had done for me now is replace a click on the UAC to allow the program with a click on the window to maximize the program. Thanks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I have no idea. I never start applications maximized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
