Windows Vista has amazing in-built security, and although I find the number of popup alerts acceptable, what does bug me is that Vista repeatedly asks me the same questions. I haven’t quite worked out how to stop Vista doing this, but I have worked out how to automatically run programs as an administrator.
To do this all you have to do is the following:
1. Right-click on the shortcut for the program
2. Click on the Advanced button
3. In the Dialog window that pops up check the box ‘Run As Administrator’
Once you’ve done this that particular application will always run as administrator, which can help solve compatibility problems.

if you have to open a dialog, select an option, then save, THAT IS NOT AUTOMATIC YOU MORON. THATS MANUAL, AUTOMATIC is click, it works.
I’m trying to setup a program which installs so when you click “setup.exe” it is already set to run as administrator. thats automatic, not manually selecting the option in settings.
People as dumb as you should be shot.
