Always "Run As" Administrator for .exe

I have looked all over the internet for days and non of the solution have worked for me. I need to run a .exe file as an Administrator. Here is my setup:

I have server 2003 with active directory. The domain is JNR. I have an Administrator account and a regular user named jmain.

I want jmain to launch an .exe located in c:\Program Files\JNR\JNR.exe as if he was the Administrator. I only want this to occur with this particular .exe file. I know that I can click "Run As" everytime, but I don't want jamin to know the Administrator password. I just want him to simply click on the shortcut for JNR.exe and it launches in Administrator mode. The computer is Windows XP Professional.

If a script is needed, please write out the whole script for me :) Detailed step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Adam :)

I saw this and dowmloaded it but I have no idea how to use it. When I clicked on the file from the site it just launched cmd and quickly disappeared. Cam you write out instructions (using the information I gave to you above) on how I can use this?

Thanks,
Adam
