How do I allow UPS World Ship to bypass UAC?

I have found a way some time ago that allowed me to whitelist UAC from certain applications by using the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. This had worked for quite some time, however, it no longer works.

The issue is the users are in a domain as standard users. WorldShip only needs to update the shipping rates and it unfortunately it is rather often. It does not update the software itself. The C:UPS folder has full admin rights to the shipping department.

I had contacted UPS but they seem not to care and offered no solution. In fact, I have a gut feeling (despite how unlikely, but nevertheless) that they patched that method up when I complained to them last time about UAC issues.

Anyway, I used this method: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/07/08/get-rid-of-uac-prompts-with-microsofts-application-compatibility-toolkit/ in order to bypass UAC. Since the actual updater only updates rates and not the program itself, there is no need to UAC elevation, so I just added the two exe files that are used for this endeavour.

Is there another method that can work? Like removing the manifest that triggered it since it seems to me that UPS went out of their way to force UAC when it is not necessary at all since shippers just need the rates and the program only allows two ignores when prompted.

Thanks.
