Create UAC White List (Windows Vista/7)

There is no such Exception list as Windows Firewall has, for UAC. This at times does cause some annoyance if you are the admin and you are trying to run a program and every time you have to ‘Allow’ it.

There are three ways (other than disabling it) by which you can bypass eh UAC prompt for particular applications:




  1. Task Scheduler

  2. Elevate Me

  3. Tweak UAC

找回Vista及Server 2008的RunAs 功能

The command-line Runas utility is handy for launching programs under different accounts, but it’s not convenient if you’re a heavy Explorer user. ShellRunas provides functionality similar to that of Runas to launch programs as a different user via a convenient shell context-menu entry.

Add RunAs to Explorer Context Menu in Vista and Server 2008

That’s where the RunAs command (XP and Server 2003) came in handy over the years.  You could login as a non-privileged user but if you needed to do something which required Admin rights, you could hold down Shift and Right Click on the application in Windows Explorer and start the application using your Admin credentials.

With the release of Windows Vista and Server 2008, this all changed.  True, you could still use the RunAs.exe from the command line however, if you wanted to do it with Windows Explorer.  Fortunately Mark Russinovich has written a new tool called which adds the RunAs feature to Windows Explorer.
