Suppressing UAC prompts for Oracle 11g

We would receive UAC prompts while launching the application shortcuts "Net Configuration Assistant", "Net Manager"  etc. Tried applying various shims using ACT 5.6, but not able fix this UAC prompts.
Also, checked the shortcut behavior using Process Monitor and applied required permission, but that doesn't work.

Found a solution. It may not be the only way, but it worked for me.

The shortcut's compatibility tab can be utilized. Try this manually and check whether the UAC prompts are getting suppressed. If the prompts are suppressed, we can copy these .lnk files, remove the original shortcuts which were put by the application using script and include these .lnk files instead.


Also, try by adding the following registry keys under HKCU and HKLM.

\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

"<Path>\Application.exe"="RunAsInvoker"
