The only way I have found to do this is go into Help and type in

Hi Jerry,
When you right click on the program's EXE or shortcut and click Properties, you then click the Compatibility tab to make your adjustments for the already installed program. That's what Mick meant. See screenshot below for an idea of what it looks like.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
