Default 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
