UAC controls (cross posted from WDSCI-L)

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

David, I agree with your stance on the UAC, it's sometimes a pain, but 
can save your assets if you pay attention.  However there are 
applications that I run regularly (Putty is the prime example in this 
case) where I would love to turn off the annoying notification.  I know 
the program is there and monitor it.

Putty in my case runs in c:\putty.  How is the world do you turn off the 
UAC for a specific program?
