Are you: going to refuse to run? And it even offers to let them temporarily gain administrative privileges. But you have to ask yourself: What would happen on Windows Vista?

If their application requires administrative privileges then it failed under Windows XP.

It can now fail equally well under Vista, 7, 8, 8. Most people run their user accounts as Administrator. In XP, this meant every running application had administrative privileges. In Vista 7 and 8 applications need to specifically request for administrative privileges. Otherwise they are not elevated to run as true administrators, and are restricted from reading or writing anything that would affect anything outside of the user account with a few exceptions.

You can begin by downloading the Application Compatibility Toolkit from the Microsoft Download center. Once the download is complete, just click the Application Compatibility Toolkit.

As I mentioned earlier, the Application Compatibility Toolkit is a large program and you will only need to use a small part of the program to disable the UAC for your particular application. Essentially, you'll use the Compatibility Administrator to create a database, then create a record in that database that contains instructions on how to automatically run your application s with elevated privileges.

Be sure to leave all the preselected options as they are. When you click Next, the Matching Information page will appear. Leave everything as it is on this page and click the Finish button. When you return to the Compatibility Administrator window, you'll see a detailed entry about your application in the new database.

Click the Fix button on the toolbar and follow same set of steps in the Create New Application Fix wizard to add other applications to your database. Now, click OK and close the Compatibility Administrator. Go to the Start menu and launch your application as usual. Your application will launch without displaying a UAC first.

It will take effect immediately after you do. Here are the options you can choose from:. Again, we strongly recommend against disabling UAC unless you have a particularly good reason to do so.
