Skip UAC Prompt

If you are regularly running applications that need administrative privileges, then chances are that you are growing tired with the UAC screen. While UAC has the role to offer some level of protection from actions performed by unauthorized software or users, it can become inconvenient for advanced users.

Skip UAC Prompt is a lightweight application that can removed the UAC prompt whenever running applications with administrative privileges.

The app doesn’t require installation, so download, decompress, and you are ready to add your first application shortcut. The interface is user-friendly and consists of a single window where you can add, edit and remove the desired apps.

There is no limit to the number of programs you can include in the list, and adding is a simple task of hitting the ‘+’ button or just drag and drop it. Now, you will need to specify the location of the executable, parameters, if any, the Working Directory and chose one of the window states. You can also specify if you want to execute on user login.

If you want to remove a program or more from the list, you don’t have to delete it. Instead, simply review your list and uncheck the boxes for the said programs.

Granted, one way you can go around the UAC screen for programs you are using frequently is via the Task Manager. Depending on the app, there are other complex steps you can take to ensure that you run elevated apps automatically to prepare your workspace.

With Skip UAC Prompt, this can be done in a jiffy and conveniently. It goes without saying that the tool should be used with programs that you know and trust to be safe.
