Program authorisation Win 7

[Admiral Huddy]

What determines if a program requires an admin password?

I have installed an old game for younger son who's account is basic but it requires admin password each time. I've changed the properties of the shortcut so it it runs as admin and changed the authorities of the permissions of .exe to full rights for the user but it still requires a password.

Anyway round this?

Antar, that's exactly what i need and for the same reason - cheers buddy

Interestingly enough, I did install and reinstall the game to the same directory but the second time it didn't request an admin password. So theheyes is right, some thing during the first installation decided it needed it.

However, it seems the game doesn't same the check points correctly. So again I'm assuming it's privileges.

I'll certainly give that a go tonight and report back.

edit - I wonder if I can substitute "Administrator" with my user profile name in the savecred, as I'm setup as an admin?
