run as administrator

I am experiencing problems with two programs that only work when I "Run As Administrator". The programs are Filezilla (FTP program) and XAMPP (localhost for Apache/MySQL/PHP). If I right-click on the program and 'Run As Administrator' it works fine, but I would like to know if there is a way...

A website I use for work was giving me problems. I contacted the company's tech support and they said in order to use their service in Windows 7/ IE 8 I had to run IE as administrator. This does the trick but I don't want to have to go through the step of "running as administrator" every time I...

I installed 7 last night and it went without a hitch other than when I tried to get CODUO to work. Sure, I was able to get it started with no problem by right-clicking on the icon and selecting Run As Administrator and it loaded beyond fast, however just before it would open the game I got a...

This one has me stumped. Something I did today caused what can I only assume to be programs that need to run as administrator to fail. Anything with that little shield next to it. Examples: Right clicking on My Computer > Manage wont open but typing manage then clicking on Computer Management...
