Windows 7 and User Account Control

I've been using PowerPro for probably close to ten years.  Mostly what I use it for is to just have a menu pop up
on the screen wherever I want of my favorite programs without having to go through the Windows start menu.

Now with Windows 7 UAC always prompts me at startup to let PowerPro run.  I can't find any way around this other
than turning off UAC completely, which I don't really want to do.

Anyone have any other ideas?  If not, does anyone know of another program that will allow you to create pop up
windows of the programs/commands you choose in Windows that doesn't set off UAC?

Thanks,
Kirt

Re: Windows 7 and User Account Control + additional question

Is it true that PowerPro is not supported on Win7 64-bit ?

Here are copies of parts of a thread in the main PowerPro group:
thread title is "Windows 7 UAC issue", OP is jkh99992002, main answer

Although I haven't tried it yet with PowerPro, my current solution for
reducing UAC annoyance is PC Magazine's Run As Admin Controller, RAAC,
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2364105,00.asp It's payware but
only $$7.97 and works well with, e.g., the Everything file finder.
But, it has to run resident.
