Many applications in Windows Vista need to be run in Administrator Mode to work correctly. Especially older softwares require this and it soon becomes a burden to always go the extra mile so to speak to run the application as an administrator. The How To Geek found a workaround for this. All shortcuts in Windows Vista  have apparently a function to always run them in administrator mode.

To enable this do the following: Right-click a shortcut and select properties from the menu. Click on the Advanced button and open the Advanced Properties from there. You will find a checkbox “Run as Administrator”. If you do check this box the application will from now on be run in administrator mode without the need to do this manually. You should not confuse this with the user account control  which probably will ask if this application should be run if it is activated.
