Windows 7 Add programs to "safe" list?

[ripcurlksm]

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 to add these programs to a 'safe' list or something so I can run them normally.

Thanks!

No problem,. it took me a while to remember where it was located.

Actually I did that, and the same issue is happening... could it be a firewall issue with a default W7 Firewall setting?

I had the same problem!
I downloaded a free text to speech program called speakonia, and while I was starting it up, i accidentally clicked "run as administrator" then the stupid "user account control" popped up every time I started the program.
i followed your instructions, and boom, no more stupid user account control!
