windows 8 running cmd as administrator without getting a pop up message

Question

I can run cmd as admin by right click and then clicking "run as administrator". But then windows gives me a pop message asking if "do you want following program to make changes to your computer"...

How can I avoid the popup message and then clicking yes? I have one more program "oracle vm virtualbox" that I want to run without getting the pop up message.

How to do the same?

I'm not sure it's possible to disable UAC only for a couple programs. This will do it for all programs though. — Ben N, Feb 26 '16 at 21:09

Use the old Task scheduler trick, which I use since Vista.

Go to Task scheduler Library and make a right click and click "New Folder" and type in "myTasks" to create a new folder.

Go to the folder and create a new task, select the checkbox "Run with highest priviligies". Give it a name like autoElevatePROGRAMNAME, go to the tab "Actions" and select the program you want to execute.

Now create a shortcut on the desktop with this content:

C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /RUN /TN "myTasks\autoElevatePROGRAMNAME"

Now always start the programs with this link.

If this is too complicated, use the Tool UACPass which does all steps for you.

I tried your method. The program that i want to execute is at C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe But when i click on the shortcut, a window opens and immediately closes. I am not sure if anything happens. Also the link http://freeavvarea.r00t.la/UACPass-endoesnt work :( – user2543622 Feb 27 '16 at 15:35
I fixed the link. – magicandre1981 Feb 28 '16 at 07:47
IMO this falls under the category When people ask for security holes as features. Security-wise this is a bad idea. – Bill_Stewart Feb 20 '18 at 18:00
@Bill_Stewart no, because you need to elevate the task scheduler first when create the task via UAC prompt. so if you have no idea stop trolling – magicandre1981 Feb 21 '18 at 15:56
It was not my intent to antagonize but simply to point out a potential security hole (caveat emptor, as it were). – Bill_Stewart Feb 21 '18 at 16:00
