Whether you like the UAC feature in Windows Vista/7 or not, normal computer users should always have it enabled because it is indeed capable of blocking some actions by the malware such as adding itself to global startup, dropping or modifying files located in Windows and etc. Although there are ways to bypass the UAC restrictions but not all malware is capable of doing that. If you use CCleaner everyday to clean up the junk on your computer, you may find it annoying because it prompts for elevation whenever you run it. I have previously shared with you a workaround to bypass UAC prompt using the Windows Task Scheduler but if you find it hard to get it right, then you can use a tool called UAC Pass that automatically creates a UAC promptless shortcut on your desktop with drag and drop.
Basically UAC Pass does the same thing as the Task Scheduler trick except it is fully automated. UAC Pass is a single small executable and portable file that requires UAC elevation itself. Let us take CCleaner as a test. If you try dragging the CCleaner shortcut to UAC Pass, by default it will create another CCleaner shortcut at desktop. Now if you run the newly created CCleaner shortcut created by UAC Pass, you will notice that CCleaner runs immediately without the UAC prompt. This is made possible by adding CCleaner to Windows Task Scheduler and then the shortcut simply starts the task.
There are other options in UAC Pass that allows you to create the shortcut that pins to Start Menu and Taskbar, creates a scheduled tasks that is started with Windows, allowing multiple instances, create a batch file, force language and relative paths. For most situation the default preset should work just fine.
To delete the UAC promptless shortcut, you can either drag the shortcut and drop it to UAC Pass to remove the program from Windows Task Scheduler and then only manually deleting the shortcut or alternatively you can also just delete the shortcut and then go to Windows Task Scheduler to delete the task.
UAC Pass works Windows Vista & Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. The program comes with English and French language which can be switched by clicking on the flags at the top right.
