After further testing it turns out this trick isn't as useful as I thought. If an app needs to be run as administrator for it to work it will not work correctly if you add it following these directions. If in the compatability toolkit instead of choosing “Runasinvoker” you choose “Runasadministrator” your program will work correctly but you will still be prompted everytime you start the program. I guess the only true way to stop being bugged by the UAC is to disable it.

Why doesn't MS just give us an option of saying “Run this program always without prompting me contstantly” or “quit annoying me UAC”?

Thanks for the great tip! Why wouldn't Microsoft include this program with Windows and why wouldn't they make it easier to use than it is?

Just another example of Microsoft trying to control stuff instead of letting the users be in control.

Thanks. The original Microsoft KB is missing now! Wonder what made Microsoft change its mind about giving this information out…
