UAC und MM
Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2012 10:52 am
If you are using MM with Vista / Win7 you will get the UAC prompt each time when starting MM.
The UAC prompt appears, because the manifest states, that this program requires administator priviledges (which are required to read the memory of a different process).
I was annoyed by this prompt, but I did not want to disable UAC completely. I think it is usefull to warn you if try to run a dangerous application by accident (e.g. a mail attachment or similar).
But Windows does not offer a possiblity to define a list of apps, that should run elevated without prompting.
I just found a tool, that does allow this: http://freeavvarea.r00t.la/UACPass-en
With this tool you accept the UAC prompt once and it will create a shortcut that lets you start the program in elevated mode without further annoyance.
