How to Disable the UAC Prompt for a Specific Application

While I like User Account Control (UAC), there’s always that one application that you need to run that requires admin rights.

While I guess you can hire someone to click on the Continue button, it’d be much better to turn off UAC for that one application. Fortunately, the Knowledge Base Article 946932 shows you exactly how to do that.
