I found this post in the archive and didn't see anything adding how to make it so that the "Privilege Level" checkbox is not grayed out. Does anyone know what I have to do in order to make it so that I can mark the checkbox?

Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned, every program I have on my
Desktop has the same problem-the privilege levels are grayed out.
All of them were installed in my C:\Program Files subfolder.
Others have apparently had this same problem. I Googled the issue
and this was one comment:
These are grayed out if the app has an internal manifest that declares its
run level.

According the the program's tech support people there is no 'internal
manifest' in their program, but it's still grayed out.
