Vista - Run as administrator

Run as administrator

Hi

I have a game that when I click run it takes a few minutes for it to start
even though it is there running in Task Manager.
I have found that if I right click the game icon and tell it to Run As
Administrator it runs straight away with no delay at all.
So is there a way to get it to do this every time without right clicking it?

Note, I am the only user of the PC and thought I was logged in as the Admin.

Re: Run as administrator

Try right clicking and go to Properties. Under Compatibility, there is a
switch to set so that it can run as Administrator. Sometimes it's not
available, but it's worth a shot to see if it works.
