Hi Mike,
Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it won't work on my office machine. Our computers are locked down, so in order to run anything "as administrator" you need the company system password, which is only given with permission. I need a way to make this change as a non-admin user, either through system configurations or a portable software tool that doesn't need to be "installed" or need admin privileges to run.
Windows XP used to allow this. I don't know why they took it away in Windows 7 and 8. I hope it comes back in Windows 10, but with Microsoft, who knows???
