How do I switch off User Account Control for a specific application?
I am running Windows Home Vista Premium. I have User Account Control switched on deliberately - this is so that I get asked whether an application is allowed to start if the application is likely to make changes to my system.
However, I have recently installed software that backs up my data to another disk and location. The application starts up when Windows starts up. However, UAC always asks whether I am happy to allow this application to start. I always want the application to start but am also get tired of UAC asking me.
How do I switch off UAC for this one specific application such that this application always starts when I logon to my laptop?

As far as I know, and I could be wrong, but as soon as UAC is turned on it is activated system wide. This is because the programming of Windows tells the software to do this. So unfortunately, no there isn't a way of turning UAC off for one specific application.
