Apply GPU OC settings at boot without being bugged by UAC?

[Zarathustra[H]]

Is this possible?

I like UAC. I don't want to disable it completely.

Is there a way to tell it that a certain program (in this case MSI Afterburner) is trusted, and not to ask for an administrative password upon launch?

Essentially, I want MSI afterburner to apply my OC:ed settings at boot in a non-admin user account, without having to enter the admin password.

Much appreciated.

Where did you install Afterburner to? C:\Program Files ? Afterburner should run automatically at startup even if you have UAC enabled.

I don't recall changing anything in the install process. I believe it is located in Program Files yes.

Every time I launch it, it triggers a UAC prompt, and has on several different computers, over several different versions of Afterburner...

I have the latest version installed on my main machine and it starts up automatically with no UAC pop ups. Download GPU-z and check to see if your cards are overclocked on startup.

turn off uac

Instead of a start up item (look in msconfig), start it as a task (Task Scheduler) and you can supply credentials there.

Strange, mine never elevated a UAC prompt, and I had it starting with Windows also. You on Win 7?

Exactly... Task Scheduler is your friend.

Hit your Windows key, type task and hit Enter. Click Create task and go through the tabs setting up the task you want to run. Easy peasy, no more UAC prompts at boot.
