Default Unknown Program popup

When I do not set eqgame.exe for compatibility with Windows XP2, I get random crashes logging in or zoning. When I do set it for compatibility to Windows XP2, I get a UAC popup asking if I want to run this unrecognized program?

Do you know any way to get this program recognized?

Click Yes/Continue

Its ok if the computer doesnt recognize it, as long as you do

You can disable UAC but Im not aware of any way to selectively allow something without a prompt

You can use task scheduler as a workaround to launch it, and then use a shortcut to launch the scheduled task on demand:

Note that this will also reset stuff like high DPI settings or whatever other customization on the exe if those have been applied, so you'll need to redo those too.
