UAC Trust Pal

The User Account Control is a malware prevention tool first time introduced with Windows Vista. Despite its positive and protective role, UAC is very annoying at times, especially when you know your programs or processes are clean. One can completely deactivate the UAC or bring it down a couple of notches, without additional software, but if you want to keep the service up yet at the same time exclude specific applications from its coverage, UAC Trust Pal could be a better option.

A portable tool will always come in handy for users who intended to deploy it on more than one machine. Due to UAC Trust Pal size, a low-capacity flash drive is enough to carry it around in your pocket. Also, a classic installation will always leave data traces on your drive, while a portable app stores all its settings in the source directory.

The app comes with a compact UI that lets you add the programs you wish to automatically skip UAC checks. AS long as any application is present in the trust list, administrative rights will be assigned without question. Removing files from the list is also a walk in the park. Select the entries you want out and click the Remove button, nothing complicated.

If you try to add an item to the list and an error regarding administrative right occur, it most likely means you have the UAC turned off. Make sure the User Account Control is up and running, or the application is rendered useless.

In short, UAC Trust Pal is an interesting solution to allow a specific application to bypass the User Account Control check. For a somewhat old application, it still has fast response times, and it's pretty stable. The only downside is the fact that it is no longer officially supported.
