How to disable the User Account Control Prompt for a certain application only

Read about it here.

A quick run down:
1. Install the Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0.
2. In the Start menu, locate the Compatibility Administrator inside the ACT folder. Right-click it and Run as administrator.
3. In the left hand pane, right-click on the database under Custom Databases and select Create New, and select Application Fix.
4. Enter the name of the application you want to alter and browse to it to select it.
5. Click Next until you are in the Compatibility Fixes screen.
6. On the Compatibility Fixes screen, find the item RunAsInvoker, and check it.
7. Click Next and Finish.
8. Select File and Save As. Save the file as appname.sdb in a directory you will easily find it.
9. Copy the appname.sdb file to the Vista computer you want to alter the elevation prompt behavior on.
10. Click Start>All Programs>Accessories. Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
11. Run the command: sdbinst appname.sdb

It should display: Installation of "appname" complete.

It would be the opposite my friend Aaron? We used the ACT 5.0 and that the reporting procedure to disable the UAC for certain applications. In the case of applications that are not natively high, if enable this option RunAsInvoker in the ACT, this will invoke the box of elevation for the application allowing inform the credentials she needed to be executed properly if it was not adaptadada to work with reduced privileges in Windows Vista.
At least me, the procedure that says disable the UAC only allows the application to invoke the box lifting credentials.

Once you have run the command line command, how would you undo that installation? Just delete the file, or would more be required?
