| Guest | shortcut to 'Run As Administrator' How do I create a shortcut to a program that needs to be "Run as Administrator"? What I currently do is right-click on the program name and choose "Run as Administrator", but if there is a way to create such an icon on my desktop, that would be a great time-saver. Pl help. TIA Russel |

You will find what you want there. If you are looking to avoid the continue prompt, that won't happen. |
