UAC controls (cross posted from WDSCI-L)

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?

I run with UAC on (it's kind of reassuring, IMO) and anytime I tried to launch RDP when it was installed in "Program Files", I got the nag display.

With RDP not installed in Program Files I don't get the nag display.

It has something to do with virtualized directories. Not entirely sure of the details.
