asked on Run as administrator - permanently
Hello Experts,
Our policy is that users have only Power Users rights on workstations.
Unfortunately there are some applications that require users to be local administrators.
When I set the executable to be run as administrator, logged in as administrator, the applications still asks for credentials when a Power User is logged in.
Can this be done in Windows 7 Pro?
Are there certains steps I should follow?
Maybe in gpedit.msc there is something I should check off?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't have to disable UAC you just need to allow the program to run in an elevated way.

I run that what dariusq suggests and it puzzled me, because it did not work.
The account wasn't the native admin account, though.
PeteLong, is this what I should do to make what DariusQ suggests?
Thank you.

So, you make the program run elevated at all times this doesn't work?
