Shortcut to start it without UAC prompt

[jcarerra]

Is there any way to create a shortcut that will start Everything Search (not just put it into notification area) without a UAC prompt appearing? Windows 8.1

Or, if it is running as a service, a shortcut that will make it appear as a window onscreen without opening the notification area. I keep that collapsed.

See if the -minimized command-line switch does it.

Actually, I want it as an open, standard size window, so I tried the -newwindow switch in a desktop shortcut to the exe.
The UAC prompt still appeared.

In my case, I was responding to the "Or, if it is running as a service" part.

Without the service, there have been a few threads in the past.
Suppose searching for "UAC" might show some work-arounds (I haven't checked).

A bit confused about that last...I DO have it running as a service.
Was trying to have a shortcut to "bring up the window" without having to go through the UAC dialog.

Aside: reason is I have a docked bar on the side from which I can launch shortcuts with a single click--and want Everything on there for single-click opening.

I found my problem--had the main exe set to run as administrator
