    Automatically deny UAC elevation for a specific program

    I know there are many discussions and workarounds about how to grant elevation for a program.

    But I need the opposite - I want keep one of my program in user mode.

    Is it possible to automatically deny the UAC request for a program, and leave the UAC on for the whole system?

    How windows identifies a program or file which requires UAC elevation

    7z Setup SFX require elevation

    We have one executable which is giving problem(posted on our ftp server)

    "7z Setup SFX file(when executed) does not prompt UAC when the folder where it gets downloaded it not opened"

    Steps:

    Download a file ("7z Setup SFX" exe) to a folder location which is not open

    Now double click it, it will not prompt for UAC and then it says "the required operation require elevation."

    The strange thing is that, when we download it, when the folder is open (where its downloading) it works, it prompts for UAC prompt.

    One more thing is that when we rename the file which was not working it starts working and prompt from UAC
