Help with administrator program running thing? by SS94
Well..um, I'm new to posting, so I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here goes. I have a program that is being ran as an administrative, and I need to know if there is a way to make it not run as one, without a warning or password needed on another user account. If it's possible, can anyone tell me how to do it? Any help is appriciated. --
