Disable UAC Plugin

I have a lot of Pre-Win 7 games that need admin rights to run.
So i've made up this dirty solution. Basically, with this plugin, when you run an exe game with launchbox it will lower UAC for 10 sec. That way, launchbox can launch games that need elevated privilege without running as admin itself.

Be aware, this is not something secure !

You end up with a scheduled task that anybody can run that temporary remove UAC !

But if that's something that bother you and the only alternative that was on your mind was removing the UAC entirely, well, remove it for 10 sec is better than having it off.

How to use the plugin : 

It's bundled with an exe : UACTemporaryDisable.exe, run it as admin it will generate a task called TempDisableUAC. If you move the file, you will have to rerun it as admin.
Source code is here if you want to compile it yourself : https://github.com/nixxou/UACTemporaryDisable

Once it's done, the plugin should work (basically, just run the the task and wait until "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" go to 0)

You can also run a scheduled task (that's set to admin) with a simple batch file.  Shouldn't need to write code.

Sure, but when you have a whole bunch to pass as admin, it simplify the task (like lightgun game where you need to run demulshooter as admin to hook)
