Running program in startup as administrator without any problem

Hi
I have few programs that I wanted to run as Administrator from startup for normal user.
I tried Task Scheduler and it worked but I didn't have icons for these programs in a tray so I could not control these programs.

Quite a bit of searching with google brought me to
CPAU

It is command line program which allows to run programs as different users.
In my copied this program to C:\WINDOWS directory and created shortcuts in Startup folder.

Example shortcut command line:
C:\Windows\CPAU.exe -u Administrator -p Password -ex "C:\Program Files\GBMPro8x64\GBMAgent.exe" -lwp

You just need to change Administrator and Password to your real username and password and it works great.

Hope it helps.

Regards
Piotr
