Help with UAC: set permanent permission to execute

I want to know if it is possible to set permanent permission to execute a
program that requires an administrator password every time you run it logged
in as a regular user. Thanks

Re: Help with UAC: set permanent permission to execute

Hello,

This scenario is not supported.

However, if you are using Vista ultimate or business, there is a
complicated, technical way to "make" this work, but it is nowhere
close to being secure - it allows malicious or curious standard users
and malicous applications to easily gain administrative access to the
computer.

You can do this by enabling the built-in administrator account and
using it with the /savecred option of the runas command-line utility.
