Bypassing UAC as "Standard User"

Postby REparsed » Wed Sep 02, 2009 6:04 pm

I want to start Everything at login from a "Standard User" account (Win 7). I used the Task Scheduler to successfully create a task that will work with an administrator account but not with a "Standard User" account. The problem seems to be that Everything creates a second process (the UI?) that needs but doesn't have admin privileges.

When Everything is run manually from a "Standard User" account there are two UAC prompts.

Is there a way around this other than using an admin account?

This method only works, if you're logged in as administrator, not as a normal user. Any ideas how to solve this?

OK, solved my problem by using http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=24DA89E9-B581-47B0-B45E-492DD6DA2971&displaylang=en

Why something similar isn't included in vanilla Windows is beyond me.

Hi: Can you post the specific setting you used to get Everything to run without UAC as a standard user. Please help! I'm wasting too much time on this.

given the nature of this app, just set a trigger on the task scheduler task set to "at startup" or "at logon"

You ahve successfuly create the task in taskskeduler but after that you have to disable everything autorun in everything options. Otherwise everything will run two times : one time by himself with UAC prompt and one time with taskSkeduler without UAC.

To create task in taskskeduler automatically :

download this file , extract it where you want then run "autorunEverythingWithoutUAC.bat" in admin mode. Disable autorun in everything options and that's all right :)

This script should work with Windows 7 x86 and x64, it is based on FAQ article of everything website.

Bypass UAC has some inconveniences, like we know. Is not possible to change the Search Everything program to avoid UAC interfere with it?

Thanks,
Hugo
