Vista - Getting rid of Run as Administrator for Games

Some of my games won't play because I have to right click each time and click on "run as administrator"... any way to get rid of that. Easy way, of course.

i dont believe that there is a way to get ride of it but to make is so you don't have to right click everything. Right click on the program, go to properties, and set it to run as admin. You still have to accept it but takes some of the time out of it

Why did they ever make this feature on a home computer. I can see it for a workplace computer but I am the administrator and only one who uses this computer and this feature is a nuisance! I can't run and PDF or Adobe files without first saving it to my desktop and then opening Adobe and opening it from there as administrator. What a pain.

Hi Barbee,

UAC is an important security feature, better not to turn it off.

I use this , you may like to take a look

Is there one for 32 ? It tells me I can't get it because I don't have 64. I joined a genealogy site that views old newspapers and I can't get Adobe to work. The only way I can open Adobe is from the Adobe Reader desktop icon by clicking "run as administrator". It won't open inside an email or program. How can I get it to do that? I paid a subscription to this site and can't view the newspapers. It tells me my side by side configuration is wrong and to see the application log... whatever that is. Please HELP

Hi Barbee,

Not sure what you mean, both bit versions are offered.

When you click this link:

You get this page:



Click on Download - you get this page:



Tick I Agree, and select your country from drop down box, click GET IT and you get this page:



Select x86 for 32 bit, or x64 for 64bit.

If Adobe Reader is not working for you, you could try Foxit reader - there is a free version - it is smaller and faster than Adobe - many people prefer it. I do not have Adobe reader on my machine at all.


As with many free programs, the install asks to add a Foxit toolbar as well as an eBay shortcut, and it wants to set your homepage to Foxit Software, so you may want to untick those during the installation.

Hope it helps

Oh, I didn't know 86 was 32... silly me!

I downloaded it. It said there would be an icon on my desktop and guess what? There isn't. I did a search and found nothing. Where the heck is it?

Ok downloaded Fox... I hope it works with the genealogy program.

It works... thank you so much. I ditched Adobe.

Hi Barbee,

Glad it worked for you
