How do I "trust" an unsigned application?

I have a program that I have used for over a year on Windows XP, and that I consequently trust without any question.  Under Windows 7 RC, it must be run as an administrator (possibly related to use of serial ports), or it does not operate properly.
I have marked the application (not just the shortcut) as "Run as Administrator" for all users (which actually means just me - I am the only user of the PC) and it now runs fine except that every time I go to start it, UAC asks me if I want to allow it to run at elevated privleges.  As it won't run properly any other way, I want to be able to say "Yes, and remember this", but that is not offered.
How do I set the application as trusted such that I do not have to accept this prompt every time I run it?  The application is not signed, and probably never will be (I doubt it will ever be updated again), so it is not just a matter of accepting the software publisher.
I also do not want to turn off UAC, nor to set that Administrators are not prompted about privilege elevation - that would allow anything to run at a privleged level. I just want to allow it for this one application.
Can anyone advise how this is done, please?

I found a very clear set of instructions here:
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/change-user-account-settings-windows-8
You have to scroll about three quarters of the way down to the section entitled: 
"Disable User Account Control for certain applications only"
The strangest thing though...  Although it clearly says that these instructions are for Windows 8, step number ten references Vista.  Le Gasp!  I ignored that part and soldiered on and it worked like a charm.
Good luck!

  • Always used 1 main account.  Started using individual user accounts. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?

    I recently upgraded our family's mac to OS X.  I thought this was the perfect time to create and use "user accounts".  We had always used 1 main account.  So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?  I wanted to be able to manage my own itunes library, iphone apps, messages.  But I still really need to use the Stuff I have in Quicken essentials.  I don't want to have to restart all my work done in Quicken already.

    I haven't used Quicken in a while, but most applications store your files in your Documents folder. Is that where your Quicken data file is? What you do next depends on how many family members need to get at that data.
    If multiple family members need to use the Quicken data file, try moving it to the Documents folder in the Shared account. That is an account that all accounts can see. It's at the same level as the other accounts. In other words, Shared is one level up from your Home account, or Hard Drive/Users/Shared.
    If you're the only one allowed to see that Quicken data, move the Quicken data file from the old main account to your account, and don't leave a copy behind. You can use the Shared folder as a way station for the transfer since you won't be able to see both accounts' Documents folders at the same time (because you're not allowed to peek into other people's accounts). Or you can use another disk or server for the transfer, as long as you can get to it when logged into either account.

    Hi Rammohan,
    You cannot use OPEN DATASET to transfer data from application server to presentation server.
    You can do the following :
    <b>Do 1st point in BACKGROUND</b>
    1. Read the data file from application server into an internal table using OPEN DATASET
    <b>Do 2nd point in Foreground</b>
    2. Once you get the data into an internal table, then use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to download it on presentation server
    You cannot use the above 2 point together in Background because its not possible. Hence you need program it partially in background and partially in foreground.
    Best regards,

  • How deploy 6i Forms Fmx trought Application Server 10g

    Hello every one,
    Situation :
    In my company, we have a software developed by a team using Oracle Forms 6i, the application is connected te Oracle 9i Database and every thing works well.
    Problem :
    I was able to upgrade the database from 9i to 10g. But my question : is it possible to deploy all the Forms (fmx 6i version) on Application Server 10g. I want to use the 3-tiers architecture.
    Take note that i have not the fmb source files. Just the FMX (about 40 files)
    If yes, can you explain also how to proceed (tools to install on Application Server) and how to setup the connection between the 3 tiers throught a LOCAL NETWORK.
    Regards
    Kira

    You will at least need to recompile all those *.fmb to *.fmx in the version of the App server you will be using.
    We have a forms6 c/s application we are migrating to forms 11g and it almost that easy (except for changes in how you launch reports).
    The application server is setup alot like the client/server side of forms is, it needs a tnsnames.ora that points to the database and it needs to know where you will be storing the forms and report. Looks for any *.fmx and that will be the default location.

  • How do I get the Numbers application iOS 7.0.4 unstuck updating on iPad 2?

    How do I get the Numbers application unstuck in updating on iPad 2?   After the last update of iOS 7 it started acting up. Then weeks ago (in November) I opened the application right after iOS 7.0.4 update and while accessing a file it got stuck, some files are white and I can access them. Other files are gray and I can not open them. The application goes white when it first opens up instead of just opening then there is a delay, then it eventually opens.  It is stuck updating.
    I have tried various things. 1) Rebooting, 2) hard reboot (holding down the off button and home key until the apple icon appears), 3) tried putting it in Airplane mode-reboot-then connect to computer and iTunes-then rebooted. 4) tried opening a file in another application- I get an error message that says : can't open spreadsheet- this spreadsheet is updating, wait for it to finish then try opening. 5) sending spreadsheet- I get an error message that says : this spreadsheet is updating, wait for it to finish then try sending.  None of these have worked.
    I am at my wits end I use these files for my business and I am self-employed, some files I can't access at all, this is very serious for me. If you know how to fix this please help me.  I transferred all of my NECESSARY and IMPORTANT client files to Numbers from Excel, I've been using Numbers successfully for about 1 year.

  • How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?

    How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?
    I would like to do so proactively when I am not using a certain program but need to keep it open, and I want to free up computer resources.
    In other words, I want to keep a given program open, but stop it from "thinking".

    There is an application that I can only open a set number of times before it expires.  Every time the program closes, you get one less use out of it.  I want to use it as long as possible, so I thought I would just keep it open all the time.  However, it consistently turns on the fan on the computer, so I imagine it uses a lot of resources.  I got the idea after the Force Quit program "paused" it once after getting overloaded with all the apps I had open.  It stopped the fan, and I was able to open it and run it again later with no problems.  The tricky thing with trying to intentionally overload the system is that it's a hit or miss on which open program the OS will pause (to my knowledge).

  • How can i specify the default application to save a read later doc in Instapaper

    I have an Instapaper account, so that I can mark some online web pages to 'read later' if I wish to do this. I have successfully put the Instapaper 'Read Later' borkmarklet on the dock of my iMAC.
       However, whenever, I come across a web page or blog that I wish to read later, and click the 'Read Later' bookmarklet on my dock, it throws up an error message that reads ' There is no default application specified to open the URL' and so I am now at a dead end.
    Can someone explain to me where and how I can find the default application to get round this problem. By the way, I did not find this problem with Instapaper's 'read later' bookmarklet on my old Windows PC, where I was able to store pages for reading later with this app, and also to transfer them automatically to my kindle through the wifi connection at home.
    I hope someone can assist... Or is there another way - (apart from Instapaper which worked okay with Windows)- to save web pages for reading later with MAC -
    Thanks

    This is pretty simple in Safari, in the upper left of Safari you will see an icon that looks like pair of glasses, this is where you collect webpages for you to read later. The feature is called Reading List and looks like:

  • How do I find out which application is stealing focus?

    I'm having problems with my Macbook Pro in which my active window keeps deselecting every 5-10 seconds or so, which is making even typing this question extremely difficult.
    I have figured out from searching the web that it is because of an application stealing focus. However, in all the boards that say how to fix this problem, none of them actually tell you how to identify which application is the one stealing focus.
    The most information I could find was to go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
    and to look for which application is stealing the focus, but it doesn't say WHERE to look.
    Do I look at CPU? Number of threads? Real memory? What?
    Here are my specs:
    - Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    - Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    - Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    (Let me know if you need any additional info about the system.)
    How do I figure out which application is the one stealing focus? (If you could write it in painfully simple instructions, that would be fantastic).
    Thank-you in advance to any helpful answers!
    -Carly

    First, quit all applications, close all windows and reboot the Mac. Hold down the Shift key prior to the startup chime until it finishes starting. This is called a Safe Boot and causes the system to load only its components, no third party stuff and do other housekeeping tasks. Will take AWHILE, be patient. Run ONE Apple app at a time and see if the issue persists. If it does not, then you will have determined the system is OK and the issue is caused by a third party app. Now reboot normally and see if the issue reasserts itself.  Try this and holler back.
    Note: running Safe Boot in day-to-day use is unadvisable cause many apps require the use of their extensions and won't work correctly, if at all.

  • How do I change the default application to open files.

    I am rather new to Mac OS (using Leopard). I am rather frustrated, that I have not been able to find a way to change the default application that opens PDF files. I looked around the System Prefernces, couldn't find it, searched the Web, nothing. And I could not find an answer in this forum either.
    So here is my question. How do I change the default application for opening PDF files from Preview to Adobe Reader? I do not want to have to click "open with" every time, I want to open a PDF file.
    And how do I do this for other files also? For instance, I may want to open images files with Photoshop instead of Preview.

    Hey ! I was going mad with the same question - and I'm not a complete newbie - so thanks to William for answering it - I knew I'd seen that dialog somewhere, but just couldn't find it. Text edit was driving me crazy telling me that .ppt files were screwed, now I've got em to open with Powerpoint...
    In answer to your last question, Craig, the dialog that appears to ask if you're sure specifically says the change will relate to all .pdf files ( or .ppt or .whatever ), so it won't stop Preview from opening other types of files.
    Thanks for the help - searched Apple support in vain on this one...
