EnableUIAccess_launch.ahk

#requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Off ; Needed for elevation with *runas.
/* v2 based on EnableUIAccess.ahk v1.01 by Lexikos USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
  Enables the uiAccess flag in an application's embedded manifest and signs the file with a self-signed digital certificate. If the file is in a trusted location (A_ProgramFiles or A_WinDir), this allows the application to bypass UIPI (User Interface Privilege Isolation, a part of User Account Control in Vista/7). It also enables the journal playback hook (SendPlay).
  Command line params (mutually exclusive):
    SkipWarning     - don't display the initial warning
    "<in>" "<out>"  - attempt to run silently using the given file(s)
  This script and the provided Lib files may be used, modified, copied, etc. without restriction.
