Application Initiation Policy
NOTE: With the version 7.1 release standard Application Control and Application Initiation policies have been combined. Now whether you need application elevation or UAC suppression, simply pick the Blank Application Control Policy.
An Application Initiation policy allows for the processing of security context actions before an application has been launched. This allows for the bypass of Windows Vista UAC prompts.
