Re: UAC with a specific program problem

Why is this? I would like it to be the same way when logged in as an
administrator.

I don't see any rhyme or reason to any of this.
Hi Alan,

This is normal for UAC if you can believe it. You will need to right click the shortcut for the program in the Administrator account and click Properties. Now click the compatibility tab and uncheck "Run as Administrator" and click Ok. That should stop it from asking you if you want to "Allow" the program to run with administrator rights.
