Mednafen - Annoying 'User Account Control' Message

This has been bugging me for a while now, and will get more annoying once I move my test system into the bartop I'm constructing. Every time I load a game from within Hyperspin that uses MEdnafen as the emulator, my PC jumps out of Hyperspin to display the 'User Account Control' message asking me if I want to allow Mednafen to make changes to my PC. IF I click yes it loads the game fine. So far I haven't found a way for it to either (a) remember my default setting so it doesn't keep asking, or (B) for me to manually add Mednafen to an exclusion list.

The only options in Windows 7 (64bit) seems to be to remove UAC for all programs or keep UAC for all programs. Obviously the former option leaves my system quite vulnerable.

Does anybody know a work around???

The first thing I do on every system I set up is disable UAC completely. I find it more annoying than helpful.

If you're an advanced PC user, I would turn it off. If not, it's probably best to leave it on so you know what is happening and when with your OS.

Why, every time there's a pop-up everybody just clicks it away. What's the advantage of TweakUAC?

Did you try setting the properties on the exe to run as adminstrator?

Its lets you keep Uac on but it disables the annoying popup
