Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create

Hi gurus all,
I have applied the method in the tutorial, which is excellent work, thank you.
However on one program, ZTreeWin, there is a minor irritation.
I have pinned the shortcut to the task bar so ZTreeWin opens with one click.
But its window is not active - I have to click in the window before I can use it.
I really want to click once and immediately be able to key in any command to ZTreeWin.
Is there any way to retain the focus on the opened ZTreeWin program?
Many thanks, marcvarc.

Many thanks for having a look at this, Shawn, and suggesting a solution.
I have recreated your method but it still doesn't work for me.
Yes you can open ZTreeWin with one click, but it still requires a second click in the ZTreeWin window to activate the window. Only then can you key in keyboard commands to ZTreeWin.
So that's two clicks, which is no improvement on clicking on the ZTreeWin icon once to open the UAC window and a second click on the Yes button in the UAC window.
But thanks for having go, cheers, marcvarc.

No UAC prompts on boot, no shortcut hacks or tweaks needed, Icon loads in tray.... IOW, the way an AV should work!!

I dumped Avira 3 days after I made this post. (3 FP's, NO help from Avira support on said FP's, 2 failed updates and unbearably LOOOONG successful updates, COUNTLESS "nag splashscreen" prompts BEGGING me to upgrade...and switched back to


wait for it...




Micr$oft $ecurity E$$ential$ which is what I originally had and disliked. Months later, I find that I've become a fan of M$$E

Go figure???

Just wanted to say Thank You for this tutorial, and to add a suggestion. If you want to run multiple instances of the application (like putty), you'll need to make one more change to the task's properties. Under the Settings tab, change the setting for

If the task is already running, then the following rule applies:

Change the default value of:
Do not start a new instance

to:
Run a new instance in parallel
