What is UAC Trust Shortcut 1.0?
UAC Trust Shortcut 1.0 is a free software tool that you can use to make shortcuts of
specific programs in your Personal Computer (PC). The tool allows you to tell UAC which
programs you do not want a prompt for.

shortcut then you must click the Add another program button. If the UAC shield is on the

Once youve clicked Add now a shortcut will be created on the
desktop (See picture on the left side).

The Windows Registry shortcut has been created.
If we double-click this shortcut Windows Registry will launch
without any UAC prompt.




What to keep in mind?
Once you restart (or shutdown, or logoff) the PC then the shortcuts UAC prompt if you
double-click them. However, they work only if you start the background service which is
installed. The background service can be started from the tray area, however, requires a
user action which means a UAC prompt asks before executing the service. Once the user
gives permission to the service to start then the shortcuts are able to execute without
any UAC prompt.
