[SOLVED] Allow a program to make changes to your computer

[rbogomolec]

On Win7 when I start games or some programs like MSI Afterburner or some other trusted .exe files there pops up a window saying "do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer?". Can I somehow tell Windows to do this automatically for these couple of programs and not to ask me for permission every time? I tried to run them as an administrator but I still get the same question. I tried to look for the solution on Google but couldn't find anything.

Lowering the permissions on the UAC (User Account Control) may help. But by doing so could open you up to malware or other risks.

Not easily.

On a simplistic front, you can either
1. Disable UAC (user account control settings), which will disable the prompts - BUT is not recommended, as you'll never be notified of any changes
2. continue as is (recommended).

That being said, you can create an elevated shortcut... which would achieve what you want, but is more complex:
