If you would like some programs to always Run as Administrator, you can configure them so. To do so, right the program icon or the shortcut of the application and open the Properties box.

Click the Compatibility tab.

Here, select the Run this program as an administrator box. Click Apply > OK. This will apply the setting to the current user only.

But if you’d like to apply the ‘always Run as Administrator’ setting to all users, then click Change setting for all users. This will open another dialog box. Again select Run this program as an administrator check box. Click Apply / OK.

This is also useful for resolving compatibility issues with legacy applications that require administrator privileges.
