    Run a program as administrator in XP mode

    Hi.

    I have a new computer with Vista Business and are going to install HTML-Kit.

    To get it work it has to run "as adminitrator" in XP mode, because it isn't
    Vista compatible yet.

    Does that mean I have to use 2 logins?
    I thought, when I only have one - that will be administrator.



    How do I set a program to run in XP mode and how does it effect the other
    Vista compatible programs?

    Thank you in advance for answering.

    All the best from
    Inge

    Create a shortcut (or right click on an existing shortcut) to the program
    and choose properties. You will have the option there to set the program to
    run as administrator (and will be prompted by UAC when you click on the
    shortcut).
