Start System Tool Without Annoying UAC Queries

[Rishab2oo]

The security query every time you start a system tool is really annoying. We can disable UAC but then this disables it permantely. However, UAC can be avoided by starting the program indirectly using Task Scheduler and UAC remains active for other programs.

Open Task Scheduler and Click on 'Create Task'.
Enter the name for task and check the option 'Run with highest privileges'.
In the Actions tab click 'New' and browse for the program.
Now create a shortcut on desktop or anywhere else. Type following in input field
C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /RUN /TN <Name_of_task>
ex C:\Windows\system32\schtasks.exe /RUN /TN CCleaner

If you start programs with this shortcut UAC will be skipped.
This method is very useful in case you have some program in startup that ask for UAC (like CCleaner)

Nice tip.
But I like to lower the settings for UAC from the options. This way the screen don't dim out, and hence just have to select Yes or No in a prompt.

But the tip is nice for completely disabling UAC for a particular exe.
Thanks for sharing!
