Force asking to "Run as administrator"
I run Vista as non-administrator account. I just feel safer that way and I
do not mind typing in administrator password when asked. Some applications fail to ask for administrator password and run fine but in a limited way. It takes me a while to figure that out that I am running it with limited privileges. I then have to save my work or document where I am and close the application. Then I have to right-click the application icon and click "Run as administrator". Is there a way to avoid this repeated action? I want to find a way to force asking for administrator password when I double-click the application icon. Is there a way to setup the icon on desktop or start menu to have it forced to ask for administrator password every time I double-click it to start the application? I always forget to right-click to "Run as administrator". Background info: I have a AMD 4400+ 64X2 4GB memory 320GB HD(way bigger than I need) Acer computer (AM3100-U3201A) I purchased new February 2008 running 32-bit MS Vista Home Premium SP2 box. I use MS auto updates. I think it has onboard shared memory for video and sound. My ISP is Comcast 12mbps with Motorola SURFboard SB5101 Cable Modem direct to computer. No other switches or routers or wireless or phone line or any other networking hardware hooked up to this computer. Thanks for the help! Bob |

I always forget to right-click to "Run as administrator". Right click on a shortcut, go to Properties, then to Advanced, there should be an option to run as administrator. Once enabled, you'll be prompted before the app starts. |
