Tony,
Thank you for the specifics.  What I am needing to do is apply the setting to only one program and not globally.
There is, unfortunately, no exception list for UAC.

If you want to have UAC-free launching of a program, you need to use the task scheduler.
There is a short guide here: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-software/1357575.htm#post5032351
and a very detailed one here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11949-elevated-program-shortcut-without-uac-prompt-create.html

You cannot turn it off per program.  You can only change the way it asks you ... or turn it off altogether.  It is not recommended, however, to turn it off.  As UAC helps prevent code from executing or changes being made to your system without your knowledge as a protection, likely the reason it doesn't give you the chance to "trust" a given application, is so that malware may not run if exploiting a weakness in the application you chose to trust.
