Re: Giving administrator password to standard user

You won't have to give them the password if you set "Detect application
installations and prompt for elevation" to Disabled in Local Security
Policy. They'll be able to install most apps without elevating. (So far I've
been able to install most programs from a standard account without being
prompted for elevation. The only time I'm prompted is when downloading and
installing certain programs from the Web. Not sure why yet, I suspect it's
either an IE setting or something having to do with unsigned apps. Haven't
had a chance to mess with it yet.)

Anyway, to get to Local Security Policy log into an administrative account,
click Start, type sec and click Local Security Policy. Click Local Policy,
click Security Options, and scroll down to the User Account Control options.
Set the "Detect application installations…" option to Disabled.

There's some detailed technical info at the URLs below:

Giving administrator password to standard user

Hi there,

I recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate and the computer is being shared by
my children as well. But when I install a new application - which Vista
identifies as an unidentified application - every time my children want to
run the program ( a mp3 library program) , the system asks them for
administrator password. I dont want to give them the password but would like
them to be able to execute the program. How can I achieve this?

thanks

Take a look why are the application needs administrator privilegs or try
runasspc on
www.robotronic.de/runasspcen.html
it is a tool where you can start applications with other user credentials
like runas.
The userinformations to run application are read from an encrypted file.
Runasspc work together with UAC from Vista
