Classic shimming tip for forcing apps to run without UAC prompting
If you during your way in testing app compatibility with Windows 7 encounter an application that require a UAC prompt to launch you can suppress this UAC prompt by creating a more or less classic shim “RunAsInvoker”. A few years ago Microsoft posted this as a KB article but not long after it vanished. Now the guide for creating this shim is available in Ask The Performance Team blog and I strongly suggest you put this shimming tip in mind because it might come in handy when you least expect it.
