I've done that but it still asks for the Administrator's ID and Password when I
run it, which is what I'm trying to avoid. My only way around this would seem to
be to turn off UAC, which kind of defeats the whole point - to prevent unknown
programs from running but to allow known acceptable programs to run.

Would be really nice if the system could remember that this is an OK program
(Admin ID & PW previously supplied) and so just run it.
