uac

I have a Vbscript that runs on user log off that is suppose to turn off a service, however i't can't turn off the service since it's being blocked by UAC. I was wondering if there is a way to bypass UAC in my vbscript instead of having to turn off UAC on every machine in my domain. thanks! What would be the point of UAC if you could bypass it by saying "it shouldn't apply to me"? You cannot bypass it from vbscript . You can do this administratively though, by running the script using elevated credentials in the first place . For example by having an "on logon" scheduled task, running as

I'm trying to find out if there is any way to elevate a specific function within an application. For example, I have an app with system and user settings that are stored in the registry, I only need elevation for when the system settings need to be changed. Unfortunately all of the info I've come across talks about only starting a new process with elevated privileges. What you really need to do is store your settings the Application Data folder. It is impossible to elevate just one function or any other part of a single process, because the elevation level is a per-process attribute. Just like

So I tried Googling this and this does not get a good result. What Im trying to do is run another program as an administrator without that annoying UAC popping up everytime. The idea is this, this program requires administrator privileges to run which the user will grant. Then this program will run a bunch of other programs that also require administrator permissions. Instead of the user clicking and allowing a bunch of programs time to time, the program with admin permissions can run the other programs as administrator since itself has it. This would save the user from following way to many

We have an x86 Win32 desktop application. When the installer is run by a Standard (non-Admin) user, we avoid elevating and/or showing a UAC prompt and install under C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\... instead of the common Program Files directory. On Windows 10, when our uninstaller is launched from Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features , no UAC prompt is shown and the uninstaller runs without elevating. This is the desired behaviour. When the same uninstaller is launched from Start -> Settings -> System -> Apps & features , a UAC prompt is shown. (The same behaviour can be seen

My application needs to, like most, store data. The application was previously used on XP only where it would store the data in Program Files . Now that our customers are moving to Windows 7 I had to upgrade it so that it stored the data in a new folder. I opted for the ApplicationData folder as I thought I would be allowed access without needing UAC at all. Now on some Windows 7 machines this is fine, but on others access to the folder fails, presumably because of permissions, but when ran with Administrator privelidges the program works fine. Am I using the wrong folder or are these cases

Is it possible to ask for elevated permissions from within a Java Application? Suggestions I've seen seem to all be centered around running an external executable or setting up a manifest to request privileges on launch. These aren't available to, for instance, applets. Is there any way to request elevation from a running application? UAC is not something that a running process can request (doesn't matter what language you are running in). You have to request elevation at launch time. The way that most windows apps handle this (and make it look like they are requesting elevation) is to spawn
