- In the Task Scheduler Management Console, on the Actions pane click Create Task.
- In the Create Task window, type in the name (and possibly the description) of the task.
- Click to select the “Run With Highest Privileges” checkbox. You do not need to change any other settings. Note: Remember the name of the task as we will need it later.
- In the Actions tab click New. Browse for the program you want your standard users to run without requiring UAC. Click OK and you will see your task entered into the Actions tab.
- Click OK when done.
Back in the Task Scheduler main window you will now see the new task listed under Scheduler Library with the status of "Ready".
- Close Task Scheduler. Right-click an empty spot on your Desktop and select New Shortcut.
- In the Create Shortcut window enter the following text:
C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /tn "TaskName" where "TaskName" is the name of the task you chose, from step 3. Note: Include the quotation marks around the TaskName or it will fail to successfully run the task.
- Click Next and then enter a name for the shortcut. When done, click Finish.
