It's been a while since this post so you may have found the solution to
your issue.

Quick troubleshooting steps in case you haven't:

- is the user account an Administrator?
- is the user account password protected?

Since it is OVER A YEAR OLD, you never even should have replied to it.

But I would have been pretty happy if it had been answered at some
point. Got here looking for an answer regarding this problem in IE on a
client computer. The age of the correct answer is generally not a
problem on machines that haven't seen an update since 2007. Shall I post
the answer when i fix it, or will that label me as a noob, and cause me
to be banished to the snob free world of "I fix computers for a living
and don't spend my time posting non answers regarding actual problems
land".

Almost forgot my cute sig (sorry no animations i'll work on it)

My wife claims all life's little problems can be handled with a ball
peen hammer and duct tape...I prefer a mixture of stainless brass and
lead.

Just in case I need to mention the following. If the system is booted in
Administrative mode the it obviously will not show. Have seen this numerous times.
Not to say this is the case with you but just a small heads up since you said
Clients Computer

Not so on my machine, nor does the idea really gibe with the way the whole
thing is set up in the Registry. The structures are in the main, system-wide
"Local_Machine" hive. It would cost a lot of time and energy to make it all
behave differently just because you are logged on as Administrator or some
other User.

I'd be interested in hearing about any encounters you've had where the "Run
as Administrator" option disappeared just because you're logged on as
Administrator, but are all properly displayed if logged on as any other
User. I'd be interested in how it's done. Meanwhile, now that you mention
it, I'll be checking every system I touch for the next while, ;-)

Sorry, had to move on to other problems; it looks like just the IE icons
on the desktop and quick launch were missing this option, it worked on
the source exe and subsequent shortcuts. They were either corrupted by
malware or the shotgun scatter of barely useful and probably conflicting
cleaners, sweepers and fixers (many of which were fake). Machine is
clean, only tool i cannot get to run is BDO scan. Didn't Bit defender
used to run in Firefox too?? Maybe tomorrow.
