Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create

thanks for the reply!
hmm is this a Windows 8.1 limitation?
(because the guide on the first post mentioned it could be avoided :/)

but thanks really! glad I didn't have to disable UAC

Oh My God, thank you thank you sooooo much, have been having so much difficulty with this, was trying to create a schedule where a system restore point is create upon logging on / at start up, without prompting the UAC, this has helped so much.

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting a programme called blue iris to start automatically at start-up but when I carry out post instructions and restart, command prompt flashes up and disappears but ten nothing. I am using windows 7 home premium and it says administrator account in control panel - could it be that I don't have a password set on the account?

Hello Rincal,

Yes, the administrator account will need to be password protected.

Double check in Control Panel -> User Accounts to see if it password protected. :)

Password - Create for a User Account

Created a password for account but still same thing, command prompt quickly flashes on and off then nothing.

I can start program from original shortcut without problem but when I try to start from created short cut the same thing as above.

I've gone through it many time - Any ideas?

I managed to sort it.

I noticed that when I had the task selected in scheduler a clicked the run button in bottom right window, the command prompt flashed and this time the programme started - I knew that the task was ok so had to be problem with the shortcut. I believe that my error was not putting quotes in the first part of shortcut creation. any way all working ok.

thanks Brink for creating post/help and thanks Tookeri.

WOW, Mr. Brink you are a genius, thanks a lot, works perfectly on windows 8.1 Pro.
