Windows - 'run as administrator' without admin password

Is there any way to run a Windows app as admin without it prompting to you for the admin password?

Using Windows Slideshow.

if you right-click during the slide-show, you can choose between slow, medium and fast.

i don't think you can alter the registry for this setting.

You have multiple OS's listed and no specific program(s).  Your account type is Qualified Expert.  My Chrystal Ball is in the shop < :o:) > and activematx's ball included Win 7 (not on the list of OS's) in his first post, so his Chrystal Ball is in the shop too, or it lied to him.

I would be very helpful if you could please include a little more detail in your question since different OS's approach running programs differently.  Some programs are more intrusive to an OS than others and require different approaches.

If you have administrator priviledges and are logged on - why do you use 'run as administrator' ?
If you are not an administrator then you are required to enter right credentials.

Folks: still checking into the alternatives - need a window of opportunity.

I will definitely try that - again it's getting the window of opportunity as it's a live server and there are policies as to when we can 'try' things.
Still waiting for Window of opportunity.
like I said...you can not.
You can only hack the admin password but next time he tries to log
he will find out.
I will try the suggestions and if I have a problem I will ask a related question.
